  • Battle of Britain 80 Trail
    The Battle of Britain 2020 commemorates the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The involvement of the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm in the Battle of Britain is relatively unknown and yet, despite its small numbers, had a significant impact on the battle. The Battle of Britain took place from July to October 1940. Having defeated France in the Spring of 1940, Germany began a campaign of air raids on Britain aiming to force a surrender or enabling a German invasion - Operation Sealion. The German air force, the Luftwaffe, targeted ports and ships, tried to destroy the RAF, aircraft factories and airfields, and then began bombing London in what become known as ‘The Blitz’. Did you know … Fighting between aircraft in the air is called a ‘dogfight’. During the Battle of Britain people on the ground could see the vapour trails from the fighting aircraft making patterns across the skies. Of the nearly 3,000 pilots who flew during the Battle of Britain, 57 were Fleet Air Arm (FAA) pilots. Some pilots flew with FAA Squadrons, whilst other FAA pilots completed RAF flying training and were assigned to RAF fighter Squadrons. Have a go … Guide the Spitfire through the maze safely home to the airfield. 33 FAA pilots served with 804 and 808 , the two Fleet Air Arm Squadrons officially classed as having taken an active part in the Battle of Britain. They operated under Fighter Command, providing Dockyard defence. 804 Naval Air Squadron, based at Hatston, consisted of 22 pilots flying Gloster Sea Gladiators (and later the Grumman Martlet).

  • Wing-Folding Mechanism of the Grumman Wildcat
    WING-FOLDING MECHANISM OF THE GRUMMAN WILDCAT An American Society of Mechanical Engineers Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark DESIGNATION CEREMONY AT THE KALAMAZOO AVIATION HISTORY MUSEUM KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN May 15, 2006 A Mechanical Engineering Landmark The innovative wing folding mechanism (STO-Wing), developed by Leroy Grumman in early 1941 and first applied to the XF4F-4 Wildcat, manufactured by the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, is designated an ASME Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. (See Plaque text on page 6) Grumman People Three friends were the principal founders of the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation (Now known as Northrop Grumman Corporation), in January 1930, in a garage in Baldwin, Long Island, New York. (See photo of Leon Swirbul, William Schwendler, and Leroy Grumman on page 7) Leroy Randle (Roy) Grumman (1895-1982) earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell University in 1916. He then joined the U. S. Navy and earned his pilot’s license in 1918. He was later the Managing Director of Loening Engineering Corporation, but when Loening merged with Keystone Aircraft Corporation, he and two of his friends left Loening and started their own firm — Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation. William T. Schwendler (1904-1978) earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from New York University in 1924. He was reluctant to leave Long Island, so he chose to join Grumman and Swirbul in forming the new company. Leon A. (Jake) Swirbul (1898-1960) studied two years at Cornell University but then left to join the U.S. Marine Corps. Instrumental in the founding and early growth of Grumman, he soon became its president.

    Brewster Buffalo F2A "Buffalo" F2A-1 of US Navy squadron VF-3. Type Single seat carrier-based fighter Manufacturer Brewster Aeronautical Corporation Designed by Dayton Brown and R.D. MacCart Maiden flight 2 December 1937 Introduced April 1939 Retired 1948 Primary users United States Navy Royal Air Force Produced 1938-1941 Number built 509 The Brewster Buffalo, or Brewster F2A, was an American fighter plane which saw limited service with both Allied and Finnish air forces during World War II. The F2A was the first monoplane fighter aircraft used by the United States Navy. It was derided by some American servicemen as "flying coffins"[1] due to a reputation for poor construction and marginal performance. Despite this, with the Ilmavoimat (Finnish Air Force), the F2A proved a potent weapon versus the Red Air Force. Design and development In the 1930s, the Brewster Aeronautical Corporation was a relatively new manufacturer which had wanted to enter the aviation market. In 1934 they secured a Navy contract for an aircraft of original Brewster design, the XSBA-1 scout bomber. The XSBA was rather innovative for its time, and was an all-metal monoplane featuring a retractable landing gear and an enclosed bomb bay. New business for Brewster came in the form of a 1935 US Navy requirement for an aircraft carrier- based fighter intended to replace the Grumman F3F biplane. Two aircraft designs were considered: the Brewster Model 139 and the Grumman XF4F-1 which was still a "classic" biplane. The Model 139 incorporated sophisticated features for the time: a monoplane configuration, wing flaps, arresting gear, retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit.

  • Brewster F2A2 Buffalo 44” Wingspan (1.10M)
    Brewster F2A2 Buffalo 44” WingSpan (1.10m) The Brewster F2A Buffalo was an American fighter aircraft which saw limited service early in World War II. It was one of the first U.S. World War II monoplanes with an arrestor hook and other modifications for aircraft carriers. The Buffalo won a competition against the Grumman F4F Wildcat in 1939 to become the U.S. Navy's first monoplane fighter aircraft. Although superior to the Grumman F3F biplane it replaced,[1] the Buffalo turned out to be a big disappointment. Several nations, including Finland, Belgium, Britain and the Netherlands, ordered the Buffalo to bolster their struggling air arms, but of all the users, only the Finns seemed to find their Buffalos effective, flying them in combat with excellent results.[2] During the Continuation War of 1941–1944, the B-239's (a de-navalized F2A- 1) operated by the Finnish Air Force proved capable of engaging and destroying most types of Soviet fighter aircraft operating against Finland at that time, achieving, in the first phase of that conflict, a kill-ratio of 32:1, 32 Soviet aircraft shot down for every B-239 lost[3] and producing 36 Buffalo "aces".[4] When World War II began in the Pacific[5] in December 1941, Buffalos operated by both British Commonwealth (B-339E) and Dutch (B-339D) air forces in South East Asia suffered severe losses in combat against the Japanese Navy's Mitsubishi A6M Zero and the Japanese Army's Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar". The British attempted to lighten their Buffalos by removing ammunition and fuel and installing lighter guns in order to increase performance, but it made little difference.[5] The Buffalo was built in three variants for the U.S.
