The Edo Aircraft Corporation was an established company that produced seaplane floats.

The aircraft was designed for a variety of roles including observation and anti-submarine patrols.

Eight production aircraft (designated XOSE-1) were built to a United States Navy order but none were accepted into service.

A two-seat training conversion was carried out as the XTE-1, but production TE-2 aircraft were cancelled.
