There she is, the one of many airplanes of my youth. Nearly every day during World War II, one or more of these Grumman beauties would fly over our Hartley Avenue neighborhood. Many flew so low that the pilot could be seen waving to us on the ground below. This incredible aircraft played a major part in defeating the Japanese in the Pacific theater during World War II.
