EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Grumman J2F-6 Duck amphibian aircraft, specifically the example with the registration number N67790 (previously known as BuAer 33587). Currently, this historic aviation artifact is preserved at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The aircraft is painted in the livery of an OA-12 Duck, depicting its postwar service role in the crucial air-sea rescue mission. Originally designed and manufactured by Grumman in the late 1930s, the J2F-6 Duck was a versatile amphibian aircraft that could take off and land both on water and land. Its unique design made it an essential asset during World War II, where it served as a transport and observation aircraft for the US Navy and Marine Corps. Postwar, the J2F-6 Duck continued to prove its worth in various roles, most notably in the air-sea rescue mission. The OA-12 Duck variant, as seen in this photograph, was specifically outfitted with advanced equipment for locating and rescuing downed aircrew and civilians from the water. The Grumman J2F-6 Duck, with its distinctive silhouette and rich history, represents a significant chapter in aviation history. Its preservation at the National Museum of the USAF allows future generations to appreciate the ingenuity and importance of this remarkable aircraft in both military and aeronautical transportation.
