ww2dbaseIn response to the 1938 United States Army request for a new observation aircraft, the firm AviaBellanca Aircraft developed the YO-50. Three prototypes were made and sold to the US Army for evaluation, and the first took flight in 1940. Ultimately, the US Army chose O-49 (later L-1) Vigilant aircraft made by Stinson Aircraft Corporation, and the YO-50 project was scratched.
