North American O-47 Observer Flexfit Hat

The North American Aviation O-47 is a true icon of the skies, serving with distinction from the late 1930s through World War II. This low-wing monoplane, powered by a roaring radial engine, was a leap forward in observation and reconnaissance aircraft design. With its distinctive gull wings and large, glazed observation dome, the O-47 was a familiar sight in the U.S. Army Air Corps. It was deployed for a variety of missions, including coastal patrols, anti-submarine warfare, and training exercises. Despite being overshadowed by the rapid advancements in military aviation technology during the war, the O-47 carved out a niche for itself as a reliable and versatile workhorse. Its legacy is remembered by aviation enthusiasts and historians alike for its unique design and contribution to U.S. military aviation history.
