Hi All -

I spent some time down at the Vought Archives last month and in talking with the Retiree's Club, they are looking at building a replica of the O3U-3. They are in need of drawings or detailed photos of the non-amphibious floats used on the O3U-3 when based on the battleships. Anyone out there have a drawing or photos that might be of use? If so, please PM or e-mail and I'll pass it onto the gang with proper credit. Thanks!

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Looks like a big EDO, they pretty much were the premier float builder in the 20's to late 60's era, try contacting their historical dept. for more info-
