Title: Grumman G-21 Goose No’s 1 and 2

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, designated the OA-9, as a general utility aircraft. The US Navy and US Coast Guard used the JRF-4 and JRF-5 as a 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.

We offer two titles containing flight manuals and maintenance manuals for most variants of the Goose. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages. Each Title is US$9.95.
