THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Grumman G-21A Goose

The Goose was conceived as a practical transport for businessmen around Long Island. A boat hull, retractable landing gear and two engines mounted high on the wing let it connect water and conventional airfields. It later served military operators during the Second World War.

The G-21 sits at a smaller scale than Grumman's Albatross, with a different cabin and mission history. Civilian survivors and military JRF versions may carry different equipment. That long service life helps explain the range of appearances a simmer may encounter in photographs and packages.
