#4 is a Douglas O-43, inline engine ancestor of the radial engine O-46.
I recognize #3, but can't recall the designation.
The B-10 is interesting..looks like the nose turret has been removed and faired over. I wonder if it had been relegated to a training role.

O-52 was the Curtiss Owl. I'm not aware that the O-47 had a name.tom d. friedman wrote:pitcairn auto gyro, o-47 owl, martin b-10 bomber the light plane is a liaison, but i can't remember the type's nomenclature.
