It was the first all-metal fixed-wing aircraft ordered forand by the United States Army following the Army Air Forces'separation from it in 1947. The Bird Dog had a lengthy career in theU.S. military, as well as in other countries. On April 29, 1975, the day before the fall of Saigon during theVietnam War, Republic of Vietnam Air Force Major Buang-Ly loaded hiswife and five children into a two-seat Cessna O-1 Bird Dog and tookoff from Con Son Island. After evading enemy ground fire, MajorBuang-Ly headed out to sea and spotted the aircraft carrierMidway. With only an hour of fuel remaining, he dropped a noteasking that the deck be cleared so he could land. Knowing there was noroom for this to happen, Midway's commanding officer, Captain (laterRear Admiral) Lawrence Chambers ordered US$10 million worth of SouthVietnamese Bell UH-1 Iroquois ("Huey") helicopters to be pushedoverboard into the South China Sea. The Bird Dog that Major Buang-Lylanded aboard Midway is now on display at the National Naval AviationMuseum at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida. Source
