Product Description
The G-44 Widgeon, designated J4F by the US Navy and the US Coast Guard, is a small, twin-engine, five-seater amphibious aircraft developed by Grumman, the same company that developed the JRF/G-21 Goose.
First flying in 1940, the aircraft was in production from 1941 to 1955 and served as a small patrol/utility aircraft by the US Navy, US Coast Guard and Royal Navy during World War II, as well as in Portugal, Paraguay and Brazil.
The J4F-1 was a three-seater aircraft with a stretcher hatch on the top of the fuselage instead of a cabin door, with 25 produced for the United States Coast Guard. The J4F-2 was a five-seater aircraft for the United States Navy, with 131 produced. The 15 J4F-2s delivered to the Royal Navy were called Goslings and used.
After the war, it was also used in Thailand and Israel.
