Five aircraft S-43 were acquired by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1937 under the designation OA-8 and were used for transport of freight and passengers. Seventeen aircraft were procured by the U.S. Navy between 1937 and 1939 as the JRS-1, two of which served the U.S. Marine Corps. One JRS was in Pearl Harbor at the end of 1941, survived the Japanese attack and was used as an emergency patrol plane.
