2 A = Ambulance A-1 Cox Klemin span: 44'9", m length: 30'8", 9.35 m engines: 1 Liberty 12A max. speed: 121 mph, 195 km/h (Source: Allan Routt, via 1000aircraftphotos.com photo #3286) The XA-1 was a two-stretcher ambulance aircraft of which two were built with serials /1248. The two aircraft were also flown with Wright Field serials P-383 and P-421 respectively.

3 A-2 Fokker span: 79'8", m length: 49'1", m engines: 1 Liberty 12A max. speed: 101 mph, 163 km/h (Source: USAF via 10af.afrc.af.mil/photos) A single T-2 transport aircraft was converted as an A-2 ambulance with two stretchers and an attendant. The serial was Refer also to T-2

4 AO = Artillery Observation AO-1 Atlantic span: 39'6", m length: 30'4", 9.25 m engines: 1 Liberty 12A max. speed: 135 mph, 217 km/h (Source: via Aerofiles.com) A single XCO-4 with serial was converted as the AO-1 prototype. It was also flown with Wright Field serial P-365.

5 CO = Corps Observation CO-1 Engineering Division span: 55'9", m length: 33'7", m engines: 1 Liberty 12 max. speed: 117 mph, 188 km/h (Source: USAAF via Aerofiles.com) Designed by Laddon of the Army s Engineering Division, two CO-1 aircraft were built by the Engineering Division. One received serial whilst the other aircraft was used for static tests without a serial. Aircraft was also flown with Wright Field serial P-234. In addition three aircraft were ordered on 22 June 1922 from Gallaudet with serials 68587/68589 of which the last two were cancelled. The Gallaudet built aircraft had a span of 56'2", m and a length of 33'8", m. Aircraft was also flown with Wright Field serial P-281. A XCO-1 version, with unknown specifications, was not built.

6 CO-2 Engineering Division span: 41'1", m length: 30'9", 9.37 m engines: 1 Liberty 12 max. speed: 137 mph, 220 km/h (Source: USAAF?) Designed by Roche of the Army s Engineering Division, two CO-2s were built of which one aircraft was used for static testing. The serial was and it was also flown with Wright Field serial P-255. The second aircraft did not receive a serial.

7 CO-3 Engineering Division span: 55'9", m length: 33'7", m engines: 1 Liberty 12 max. speed: The CO-3 was a fabric covered version of the CO-1 which was not built. Refer also to CO-1

8 CO-4 Fokker 3 span: 39'6", m length: 30'4", 9.25 m engines: 1 Liberty 12A max. speed: 134 mph, 216 km/h (Source: Jack McKillop, via 1000aircraftphotos.com photo #7533) The CO-4 design was based on Fokker s experience with its C-IV and D-VII designs. After a European tour in 1921 by General Mitchell, the USAAC bought three CO-4s on 29 May 1922 with serials 68557, and It is believed each aircraft was slightly different in details. One of these aircraft was later used for development testing as XCO-4. It had serial and had a length of 29'8", 9.04 m. Eventually five XCO-4As were ordered with serials /1209. On completion of testing these were redesignated as CO-4A. Several aircraft were also flown with Wright Field serials: as P-250, as P-284, as P-285 and as P Refer also to AO-1

9 CO-5 Engineering Division span: 43', m length: 27'2", 8.28 m engines: 1 Liberty 12A max. speed: 134 mph, 216 km/h (Source: USAAF?) The XCO-5 was an observation aircraft designed by Boulton and Kerber of the Army s Engineering Division. The first aircraft, 68579, was originally ordered as TP-1, of which the CO-5 design was a derivative. The second aircraft, with serial , was ordered later and was also flown with Wright Field serial P-305. It was subsequently converted to XCO-5B. There is no reference to an XCO-5A.

10 CO-6 Engineering Division span: 48', m length: 29'8", 9.04 m engines: 1 Liberty V-1410 max. speed: 132 mph, 212 km/h (Source: USAAF?) This observation aircraft was designed by Du Roche of the Army s Engineering Division. Two XCO-6s were ordered but only serial is known. The aircraft was later modified as XCO-6B when it received a Liberty 12A engine, giving it a length of 30'3", 9.22 m. Later on it was further converted with a different propeller and undercarriage and was redesignated as XCO-6C. It was also flown with Wright Field serial P-360. The second aircraft masy have been used for static tests without ever having received a serial but there is no supporting evidence for this suggestion. A projected version with tanks in the upper wings and known as XCO-6A, was not built.

11 CO-7 Boeing span: 45', m length: 30'4", 9.25 m engines: l Liberty 12A max. speed: 130 mph, 209 km/h (Source: Nelson George, via 1000aircraftphotos.com photo #5192) Boeing developed the XCO-7 from the De Havilland DH-4 airframe.
