EspañolJ2F DUCK
(Redirected from Grumman J2F Duck)
__NOTOC__
The 'Grumman J2F Duck' was a single-engine amphibious biplane. It was originally designated as the Grumman 'G-15'. It was produced from 1933 to 1945.
The Duck's main pontoon was part of the fuselage, making it a flying boat despite the similarity to a conventional landplane which has been float-equipped. Like the F4F Wildcat, its narrow-tracked landing gear was hand-cranked.
The aircraft was used by both the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard as utility aircraft for missions including mapping, rescue work, photography, and a target training.
