Based on Cierva technology, the Kellett Autogiro Corporation's KD-1 first flew in 1934. Small numbers were built but the military O-60 did not make it as an army observation aircraft. A KD-1 went to Japan in 1939 and a Japanese variant, the Kayaba Ka-1/Ka-2, was deployed on anti-submarine patrols from 1944.
