Grumman F3F
A natural development of the FF1 two-seat naval fighter of 1931, which Grumman proposed, was a single-seat fighter, the F2F, in 1932. The larger F3F followed in 1934 and this was destined to be the last biplane fighter ordered by the Navy for deliver in 1937-38. These tubby biplanes, with their characteristic retractable landing gear (a Grumman patented design), were to keep the biplane era alive in the American fleet until 1940. MODEL NOT YET AVAILABLE.
