07/31/2009. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "The brothers Henry H. and Perry V. Ogden formed the Ogden Aeronautical Corporation in 1928. They produced six aircraft before operations were ended in 1933. Designed by Frederick Thearle, the pictured six-seat Osprey PC prototype was constructed fitted with three 100 hp Kinner K-5 five-cylinder radials, before the first flight these were replaced by three 90 hp ACE (American Cirrus Engines) Mk.III four-cylinder air-cooled inverted in-line engines.

Five more Osprey PCs were produced (c/n 102 to 106): NC398V, NC121W, NC122W, NC150W and NC149W. Reportedly one aircraft was operated by the Guatemalan airline Compañía Nacional de Aviación in 1930.
