Loening M-2 Kitten

The Loening M-2 Kitten was an light aircraft produced in the United States at the end of the 1920s, for use aboard capital ships and submarines of the United States Navy (USN).

Design
The M-2 was a small monoplane designed for operation from battleships or submarines, with either floats or wheels for operations. Three aircraft were built with USN serials A442-A444; the first used an ABC Gnat, but the others were powered by a Lawrance L-3 radial engine.

Loening developed a dedicated floatplane version of the M-2, the Loening M-3, of which one airframe (Navy serial A5469) was built for the Navy.
