| Conceived as a low-cost fighter for use by smaller
nations demanding comparatively simple warplanes,
yet embodying such modern features as an enclosed
cockpit and a retractable undercarriage, the NA-50 was
a single-seat derivative of the NA-16 tandem two-seat
basic trainer. Of all-metal construction with semi-monocoque
fuselage, the NA-50 was powered by an
870hp Wright R-1820-77 Cyclone radial and carried an
armament of two 7.62mm machine guns. In
January 1938, a contract was placed on behalf of the
Cuerpo de Aeronautica del Peru for seven NA-50s, delivery being completed in May 1939. In Peruvian service,
the NA-50s were equipped with racks for up to
249kg of bombs, and the type saw active service
in 1941 during a conflict with Ecuador. The last
Peruvian NA-50 was withdrawn in 1961.
