Observation aircraft/fighter


The wartime Fokker D.7 heritage was obvious in this Dutch-built design.

The plane had a unique role in US military designations.

It was the first for evaluation in the original "AO" classification ("Artillery Observation")

 

After rejection in favor of the Douglas XO-2, it was modified as CO-4A, and 5 additional planes were purchased.
