Curtiss O-52 Owl

[Navy Chief]

Detail & Scale posted this picture on Facebook, asking what the aircraft was? Someone answered, saying it is a Curtiss O-52 Owl.

Interesting aircraft. Would be a fine addition to flight simulation. NC

I like the high wing and greenhouse canopy, would be nice to have it in FS. I sure miss Paul Clawson, the O-52 was from the prewar era that he liked to work in.
