Yes! A Vought V-99, the export version of the Vought O2U Corsair (Corsair was a name that Vought gave to an incredible number of different planes!).
Like the Bellanca it fought in the skies of China and Mexico and was bought by the Spanish Republic - a couple apparently were delivered but never flew in Spanish skies.
In March 1929, Mexico purchased 12 armed aircraft O2U-2M versions with the 400 hp (300 kW) Wasp engine to quell a military coup; Mexico then built 31 more units under licence, and called them Corsarios Azcárate O2U-4A. In 1937, Mexico purchased 10 V-99M equipped with the Pratt & Whitney R-1340-T1H-1 550 hp Wasp engine, some of them may have been sent to Spain.
China purchased the 42 export versions of O2U-1 from 1929–1933, and 21 export versions of O3U between 1933–1934 and they saw extensive bombing actions. The O2U-1 versions participated in the Central Plains War and in the January 28 Incident against the Japanese targets, while the O3U versions first participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan to support the Chinese ground forces, and later against the Japanese targets in Shanghai.
Thailand used their V-99 in the Battle of Ko Chang against the French navy.
