Paul Clawson's G-34 and Goblin Mk.1 (1172) CFS2 Aircraft (American)

The FF-1 was the first of a successful line of Grumman biplane fighters. These eventually led to the F4F Wildcat and F6F
Hellcat. The FF-1's were also the last of the 2 man fighters procured by the Navy. A production order was placed for 27
two-seat FF-1 (G-5) on 19 December 1932. Meanwhile Grumman had completed a second prototype (serial number A8940) to a
two-seat scout configuration as the XSF-1 (G-6). Subsequently 33 production SF-1s were ordered based on the two-seat
configuration. They differed from the FF-1 principally in having revised internal equipment and in being powered by
R-1820-84 Cyclones instead of the R-1820-78 model installed in the fighter version. One XSF-2 was also completed, this
having a Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Wasp engine in place of the Cyclone.
