Popis:

A Grumman OA-12 Duck (s/n 48-563) of the U.S. Air Force Museum at Dayton, Ohio (USA). The OA-12 Duck was the U.S. Air Force version of the Navy J2F-6 amphibian. After the Second World War, the U.S. Air Forces' Air Rescue Service needed special aircraft for overwater missions, and in 1948 the USAF acquired eight surplus Navy J2F-6s. Designated the OA-12, five of these aircraft went to Alaska for duty with the 10th Air Rescue Squadron, and the other three apparently went to an allied country (Colombia?) under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program.
