Curtiss O-52 Owl
|
|
|
|
The
U.S. Army ordered over 200 Curtiss O-52 Owls as observation
aircraft. Experience in maneuvers indicated the Owl was not
what was needed in the role. The O-52 was the last
"O" designated aircraft procured in quantity by the U.S.
Army Air Forces. The "L" designation for liaison
aircraft like the Piper L-4 Grasshopper
replaced the heavier observation aircraft.
The Owl was used for courier duties and submarine
patrol. |
