The Grumman G-21 Goose was the first
Grumman twin
engined amphibian and first flew in 1937. Initially a flying
yacht for millionaires it soon attracted the attention of
the military.
The USAAF used the aircraft
as the OA-9 as a general utility
aircraft. The US Navy and US Coast Guard used the JRF-4
and JRF-5 as utility, anti-submarine and rescue aircraft.
The aircraft was also used by the RCAF and the Royal
Navy.
A total of 345 were
built between 1937 and 1945. After WW2
the aircraft were used exclusively by civilian companies.
