The ANBO V was a parasol-wing monoplane training aircraft designed for the Lithuanian Army in 1931. It was of conventional configuration with fixed, tailwheel undercarriage. The pilot and instructor sat in tandem open cockpits. The prototype was powered by a Walter Vega I engine, but the small series produced had either Walter Venus or Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major engines.
In 1936, an improved version appeared, designated ANBO 51, all Genet-powered and featuring strengthened wings.
