Recognize O-46
The United States Douglas O-46 was an observation airplane used by the United States Army Air Corps.
At least 11 O-46s saw overseas duty; two were destroyed in the Japanese raid on Clark Field in the Philippines on 8 December 1941. The Maryland Air National Guard operated O-46A's off the coast of New Jersey for anti-submarine duty.
