Luckily i can use my left arm, so, using just my left arm and with tons of patience, i managed to draw all these airplanes except for the first American three which i drawn them before the accident.
The Grumman FF ('Fifi' as commonly known) was an American carrier-borne biplane fighter developed during the 30s. It featured a retractable landing gear. The first of its kind to include such feature. It was produced under license in Canada by the Canadian Car and Foundry, known as Goblin and, when it served under Spanish command it was commonly known as 'Delfín' (Dolphin).
Many versions were made:
- -XFF-1: The prototype
-FF-1 : two-seat U.S. Navy carrier-borne fighter
-FF-2 : FF-1 converted with dual controls in order to serve as trainers
-XSF-1 : second prototype
-SF-1 : two-seat U.S. Navy carrier-borne scout
-XSF-2 : SF-1 airframe with the 650 hp (485 kW) Pratt & Whitney R-1535-72 Twin Wasp Junior engine
-Goblin Mk.I: G-23s built under licence by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company
-AXG1 : A single Grumman G-23 supplied to the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service for evaluation in 1935
-GE.23 Delfin : Export variant built by the Canadian Car & Foundry Company. Initaly intended for Turkey but in the end they were sold to Spain.
And last but not least, infinite thanks go to Eswube for his help on this drawing.
