Today we're taking a look at an often under-appreciated veteran of the Pacific War: the Vought OS2U Kingfisher. Designed and built as a naval scout for use aboard US Navy Battleships and Cruisers, it served throughout the war in its intended role, and it also became known as a 'Guardian Angel' due to its frequent use in air-sea rescue operations.
