From the AX-1, the first airplane flown by Marines, to the F-4B, the newest high performance Jet, from subsonic to supersonic aircraft, the Marines have been assigned over 430 different models. Quasi-official records credit Marine pilots with having flown aircraft in assignments such as air races, tests, or special duty. These aircraft do not appear in official status of aircraft reports issued by the Bureau of Aeronautics, the Chief of Naval Operations, or by the Commandant of the Marine Corps. The aircraft listed in this compilation are taken from official records of aircraft assigned to Marine Aviation. The chronological list of aircraft used by Marine Aviation for the period 1913-1965 lists the designation, type, year, manufacturer, common name, engine type, horsepower, and dimensions. The omission of a year in the master chronology indicates that no new types were received within that year. The inclusive dates within which models of particular aircraft were used is not shown. DESIGNATING AIRCRAFT: THE LETTER SYSTEM In the early phase of Marine Corps Aviation there was no precise method of designating aircraft. Planes were assigned letters and numbers at random which neither clarified the type of plane nor identified its manufacturer. An example in point is the B3-2L, a patrol flying boat manufactured by Curtiss; Lowe, Willard, and Fowler; and others. The designation used then did not reveal the type of aircraft or its manufacturer. By 1922 a lettering system was devised whereby the first letter indicated the manufacturer, the second letter the type of plane, and a number appended which stood for the modification of the aircraft, e.g.: a UO-1 was a (U) Vought, (O) Observation plane, and (-1) the first modification (not to be confused with the UO-1 assigned in 1960, a twin-engined Piper Aztec, the (U) in this case stands for utility, the (O) for Piper). A number inserted between the manufacturer and type stood for the order or model number of the designer's aircraft in the same class, (the first design numeral "1" is always omitted), e.g.: U2O-1 indicates this designation was a Vought, (2) - second model of its class, (O) - Observation 1 plane, (1) - first modification. In 1923 the system was revised so that the manufacturer's and type letters were reversed. The numbering system remained the same. This system is virtually the same today except that suffixes have been added when aircraft have been equipped for special missions or have peculiar modifications, e.g.: an F7F-2P indicates the aircraft is a (F) - Fighter, (7) - seventh model of its class, by (F) - Grumman, (2) - second modification, equipped for (P) - photographic missions. A suffix letter indicates that modifications are of a permanent nature and limit or augment the primary mission. (Also see Appendix 2.) In 1962 the Defense Department instituted another change in the system in order to establish an armed forces wide method of identifying service aircraft. The new system is substantially the same as that used by the United States Air Force since the 1920's but modified to reflect current needs. The new rationale is outlined in Appendix 3. The changes required by the new procedure are reflected in the dual identifiers scattered through the list beginning at entry 194. The plural designations are assigned to those aircraft either on hand or programmed at the time of the change. MANUFACTURERS CODE Prior to the 1922-1923 identification system there was no code letter to determine the manufacturer's name. Some aircraft were fabricated by more than one company, e.g.: H-16, RS, F-6-L, JN, DH, and VE. As late as 1925 the Marines were assigned aircraft which were lettered and numbered by the old method. (See Index III for manufacturer's list.) The omission of a letter from the manufacturer's identification list indicates no letter was assigned to the manufacturer at the time the Marines received the aircraft. The year shown opposite the manufacturer's symbols list indicates the first year that particular manufacturer appeared in the designation of aircraft assigned to the Marines. (See Index 4 for code names.) AIRCRAFT CODE NAMES Before 1942, names given to aircraft were assigned by the aircraft manufacturer and had no official sanction or significance. After 1942, with the exception of helicopters, such names appear consistently, are approved by the armed forces and are employed for identification purposes. Quite often the names help identify the manufacturer. For example, Grumman aircraft are the "Cat" series - Wildcat, Hellcat, Tigercat, Panther, Cougar. The Chance Vought aircraft bear the names of pirates such as Corsair, Buccaneer, Cutlass, and Douglas Aircraft Company leans toward the Sky series - Skytrain, Skyraider, Skyhawk, Skyknight, and Skymaster. 2 SEAPLANES The term - convertible - used under type aircraft indicates that the standard landing gear may be removed and be replaced with floats for utilization aboard battleships or cruisers. The essential difference between seaplanes is in the fuselage itself. Seaplane is the generic term under which various categories of flying boats, float planes, and outriggers are placed. The flying boat is basically a seaplane with a boat hull fuselage. The float plane type has a main float attached to the fuselage by struts and an outrigger float under each wing. Some seaplane types had two floats and no outriggers for buoyancy. The Grumman "Duck" (see number 111) had its main float joined to the fuselage and was a boat hulled seaplane. ENGINES Engines used in Marine aircraft range from the Curtiss in-line 90 hp used in the early period to the high thrust Jets with afterburner. The letter preceding the engine describes the type engine used: R - radial, O - opposed, H - two rows of over and under cylinders, L-in-line, V-angled, opposing cylinders, and J-Jet. The radials which predominate throughout the 48 year period run in series from the 5 cylinder Kinners to the 28 cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-4360's. The number after the engine letter refers to the cubic displacement of cylinders and not to horsepower (i.e., - R-2800).The number and letter code after cubic displacement usually indicates a modification such as attached cooling fins, water injection, or other refinement, (i.e., - R-2800-32W). In the case of Jet engines, the number is assigned by sequence and does not indicate thrust or power, it serves only as identification for that specific engine. Modifications of some aircraft engines made them interchangeable. To resolve conflict during the course of research the manufacturers specifications are used. The dimensions as listed have been rounded off to the nearest whole number for simplification. GLIDERS, DRONES, BLIMPS, AND FREE BALLOONS Gliders, drones, blimps, and free balloons have not been tabulated in this compilation. The mission and service tour of these craft was tangential to the primary mission of Marine Aviation. 3 In 1918 the Caquot "M" Kite, a 2-crew observation balloon, was borrowed from the British government and used briefly for training during World War I. Between 1942-43, the Marine Corps experimented with gliders in the earliest developmental stages of vertical envelopment. The LNE-1, a training glider, by Gould, the LN3-1, a training glider by Schweitzer, and the LRW-1, a transport glider by Waco, had brief utilization before the glider program was dropped. The use of gliders during war-time was predicated on having a sanitized landing zone with sufficient landing room. In the Pacific War such areas were nonexistent. Another short-lived, but intermittent program between 1943-45 employed drones such as the TDC-2, a target drone by Culver, the TDN-1, an assault drone by Brunswick-Balke-Collender, and the TD3R-1, an assault drone by Interstate. The ZP2K and the ZTG patrol and training airships, by Goodyear were assigned to Marine Corps Air Facility, Santa Ana, California, in 1953. However, records indicate they were primarily used for salvage and not for flight training. 4 YEAR MANUFACTURER ENGINE TYPE DIMENSIONS DESIGNATION TYPE ASSIGNED AND NAME & HORSEPOWER LENGTH & SPAN 1. AX-1 Bat Boat-1-engine 1913 Curtiss Curtiss 27'2" 37'1" 2 crew, biplane 90 h.p. The AX-1 was one of the first two aircraft purchased from Curtiss in 1911 for the navy. Originally it was a land plane designated A-2. Shortly after its acquisition it was equipped to operate from the water. Later the A-2 was converted at the Curtiss factory to operate over water and over land from which capabilities it received the name OWL. After this conversion the A-2 was redesignated E-1 on 22 September 1913. When the system of aircraft designation was changed by General Order No. 88 dated 27 March 1914 the E-1 became the AX-1. 2.

The first letter indicates the type of plane, the second the manufacturer with a number appended standing for the modification of the aircraft, e.g., an FF-2 is identified as a (F) fighter, by (F) Grumman, (2) second modification. A number inserted between type and manufacturer's letters indicates the model number of the designer's aircraft in the same class (the first model or design number "1" is always omitted), e.g., an F6C-1 is identified as a (f) fighter, (6) sixth model, by (C) Curtiss, (1) first modification. Suffixes have had to be added when aircraft have been equipped for special missions or have certain modifications, e.g., an SBD-4P is defined as a (SB) scout-bomber by (D) Douglas, (4) fourth modification, equipped for (P) photography.
