First aircraft to bear the famous
company name Vought Corsair, the
initial O2U was little more than
a developed version of the UO/FU
series that incorporated an all-steel
tube fuselage structure and introduced
the Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial
engine. Deliveries to the US Navy
began in 1927 and production totalled
291 in several versions.
