OS2N-1, a Naval Aircraft Factory copy of the OS2U, being prepared to launch on an ASW mission from Kodiac AK. I did not know the fixed gear versions were used in combat. I had assumed it was just a configuration that enabled the aircraft to be flown to where the floats could be installed. The NAF built some aircraft of its own design as well as copies of the PBY and OS2U.
