On 2 March 1936, Grumman was awarded a contract for the aircraft that would become the XF4F-1 while, just three-months later, Brewster would win a contract for the construction of a single XF2A-1. Grumman engineers conducted their own survey that Detail view of VMF-2’s F3F-2 BuNo 1008. showed the F3F-1 airframe fitted with a Wright R-1820-G5 Cyclone and a three-blade prop would Squadron insignia was a dark red diving create a fighter with nearly the performance of the monoplane.

Biographical / Historical The Grumman F3F was a last US biplane fighter aircraft, serving in the interim-war period. In 1990, SDASM restored a Grumman F3F that had been ditched off the coast of San Diego. The Grumman F3F fighter/bomber was brought into service in 1936 to replace the Grumman F2F, serving both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. It was the last American biplane fighter that served between World War I and World War II. Before it could serve in World War II it was retired and replaced by the Brewster F2A Buffalo. This aircraft was found to be ineffective before the start of World War II and was taken out of service in 1941 and was replaced by the Grumman F4F Wildcat.
