The O2C-1 was a redesignation of the F8C-5. The change was made because the F8C-5 was not equipped for carrier operations and an "observation" prefix better suited its role. Note the official serial had an A prefix that was not applied to the aircraft. Photo from: National Archives at College Park, Maryland
