The Vought OS2U Kingfisher became a rugged and dependable catapulted floatplane assigned to the US Navy's battleships and cruisers and a handful of destroyers who utilized them as artillery spotters, reconnaissance, search & rescue and even admin flights. There were 1,519 built and this book covers the history of each one. This is the first book of its kind to show every Kingfisher by the Bureau Number and, for the most part, their final disposition.
