The first aircraft to bear the famous name "Corsair," the Chance Vought O2U, was a U.S. Navy Observation biplane designed to take advantage of the new Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine. After making its maiden flight late in 1926, the Corsair was ordered in large quantities for its time. Soon it was serving extensively both as a sea and land-based aircraft in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. It became the eyes of the fleet, equipped with floats for service aboard numerous battleships as well as the Navy's first aircraft carrier, the USS Langley. This historic plane first saw combat in Marine Corps attacks on rebel positions in Nicaragua during 1928. As more advanced designs of the aircraft evolved by the early 1930s, the Navy gradually phased the O2U out of use. However, foreign governments were also users of the aircraft.
