Lisätietoja:

The Douglas O-38 was a two-seat observation and reconnaissance aircraft that served in the United States Army Air Corps from 1931 to 1942. It was designed by Donald Douglas and Jack Northrop, and was based on the earlier O-25 model. The O-38 had a metal fuselage and wings, and was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1690 radial engine that gave it a top speed of 200 mph. The O-38 could carry a variety of cameras, radios, and bombs, and was armed with two fixed forward-firing machine guns and one flexible rear-firing machine gun. The O-38 was used for coastal patrol, border surveillance, mapping, and training missions. It also saw combat in the Philippines during World War II, where it was used for bombing and strafing Japanese targets. The O-38 was the last biplane observation aircraft in the US military service, and was replaced by more modern monoplane designs such as the North American O-47 and the Curtiss O-52 Owl.
