FF-1 "US NAVY TWO-SEAT FIGHTER"

Description

The Grumman FF (company designation G-5) was an American biplane fighter aircraft operated by the United States Navy during the 1930s. It was the first Navy aircraft with retractable landing gear. The FF-1 was Grumman’s first aircraft design for the US Navy. The Navy had asked Grumman if their retractable landing gear made for the O2U-1 Scout planes could be retrofitted to the Navy’s Boeing F4B-1 fighters; instead Grumman proposed a new fighter design.
