On March 28, 1931, the US Navy placed its first contract with the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, beginning an association with the manufacturer which continues to this day. The contract was for the prototype of the FF-1 (G-5), a two-seat biplane fighter which was the US Navy's first airplane with retractable landing gear. The prototype first flew on December 29, 1931, and deliveries of production airplanes began on April 24, 1933. The FF-2 (G-6) was powered by one 700-hp Wright R-1820-78 radial piston 9-cylinder engine, giving the plane a maximum speed of 207 mph at 4,000 feet, service ceiling of 21,000 feet, and a range of 921 miles. Armament on the airplane consisted of one forward-firing and two pivoted rear 30-caliber Browning machine guns.
