Product Description
The FF was a biplane, two-seater, carrier-based fighter with retractable landing gear developed by the American Grumman Corporation and used by the US Navy and other organizations in the 1930s. The reconnaissance version was adopted as the SF. This aircraft was called the Goblin in Canada and the GE.23 Delfin in Spain. The [FF] is a symbol where the [F] at the front stands for [fighter] and the [F] at the back stands for [Grumman Corporation]. The FF-1 was assigned to the fighter squadron of the aircraft carrier Lexington in 1933, and the SF-1 was assigned to the reconnaissance squadron of the same aircraft carrier in 1934. After Canada obtained the manufacturing rights for the FF-1, they produced 57 aircraft, and the Japanese Navy imported one of them and used it as a [Grumman two-seater fighter] for research on aircraft structure, etc.
