Description: U.S. Coast Guard Curtiss SOC-4 Seagull at Coast Guard Air Station (CGAS) Floyd Bennett Field, New York. The U.S. Coast Guard acquired the final three SOC-3 Seagulls produced by Curtiss in 1938 and these were designated as SOC-4s. They were assigned the USCG call numbers V171, V172, and V173 (BuNo 48243, 48244, 48245, respectively). All three were transferred to the U.S. Navy in 1942, which redesignated them SOC-3A.
