Re: Rumanian Hurricanes claiming ten 'Grumman' fighters on June 30, 1941...
If you think about what prominent feature would make the Romanian pilots think "Grumman", then it has to be a retractable undercarriage on a biplane. The I-153 certainly does not look like the F4F, but in the heat of combat it could be mistaken for the Grumman FF-1, the Grumman SF-1, the Grumman F2F or the Grumman F3F. These don't look a lot like the I-153 to our better-informed, more relaxed, eye, with time to think and consider, but then the I-16 doesn't look much like the F4F either.
