Summary

[edit]
Description A U.S. Marine Corps Pitcairn XOP-1 autogyro (BuNo A8976), circa in 1932. One autogyro (of three built), assigned to Marine Utility Squadron Six (VJ-6M), was sent to Nicaragua in June 1932. The autogyro was tested through policing the rebel-infested mountains and jungles. While the aircraft performed well, its range and small payload significantly impaired it.
