EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Navy's Grumman XFF-1 A8878, a historic aviation artifact from the early days of naval aviation. The Grumman XFF-1, also known as the G-5, was the prototype for the Navy's first two-seat fighter, the FF-1. It made its first flight on December 29, 1931, marking a significant milestone in the development of naval air power. The XFF-1 served with VF-58, the Navy's first fighter squadron, and was later based at NAS Anacostia in Washington, D.C., and NAS Norfolk, Virginia. The aircraft, with the registration number A8878, was involved in a tragic incident on April 3, 1937, when it crashed due to fuel exhaustion. This photograph, part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of innovation and exploration in aviation. The XFF-1 represents the early days of naval aviation, a time when pioneering pilots and engineers pushed the boundaries of what was possible in flight. This image is a testament to their courage, ingenuity, and determination to advance the field of aeronautics.
