Vought V-93S Corsair: 'One of a Kind'

In 1933, the RTAF purchased 12 observation/attacker Vought V-93S Corsairs. The Aeronautical Department built 25 Corsairs locally in 1936 and another 25 in 1937. Fifty more Corsairs were built locally in 1940, adding further weight to the kingdom's air power. The Corsairs served with Wing 1, Wing 2 and the Flying Training School during 1934-1950. According to the RTAF Museum, this is the only example of this aircraft in existence today.
