This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Japanese Seversky

Thu Apr 12, 2012 9:55 am

20 2PA-B3s were sold to the Japanese Navy, which briefly employed them in the Second Sino-Japanese War as Navy Type S Two-Seat Fighter or A8V-1 (Allied codename "Dick"). The Japanese were unimpressed with the aircraft and eventually relegated two of them to the Asahi Shimbun newspaper as "hacks."

At least one survived the war (00:26 mark). You can also enlarge the screen shots/pics below the video.

The aircraft at this frame looks remarkably like a North American O-47.
