In the mid 1950s both the U.S. Army and Marine Corps required a battlefield surveillance aircraft able to operate from rough fields on a STOL basis. Initially designated the YAO-1 and changed to the YOV-1, the prototype first flew on 14 April 1959. |
The first turbo-prop aircraft to enter service with the U.S. Army, the Mohawk is slow but highly maneuverable with a well armored cockpit. The OV-1 saw service in Vietnam. The Mohawk was retired in 1996 with 375 having been built. | |||||||||
