Re: Rumanian Hurricanes claiming ten 'Grumman' fighters on June 30, 1941...

At this point any radial engined aircraft could be "mistaken" for a Grumman fighter. Even if Graham is correct, the FF-1 "FiFi"was a good size two seater. Some FF-1 aircrat reached Spain, but was designated as the G-23 Delfin and made by CCF in Canada. At least one Republican aircraft (AD-001) was captured by the Nationalist and repainted in nationalist markings. The F2F or the F3F does look a little closer to a small bi-plane fighter.
