Grumman G-44A Widgeon NC28671 vintage style military aviation travel poster art by – Squadron Posters!
“On 11 July 1942, one of the morning patrol aircraft from the First Task Force, Atlantic City, reported spot- ting a U-boat cruising on the surface off the coast of Absecon, New Jersey. After the reporting patrol returned to base, a Grumman G-44 Widgeon seaplane flown by Maj Wynant G. Farr and Capt John B. Haggin flew to the reported position and began a search for the sub- marine. Locating a faint oil slick, the men tracked its origin and concluded that the submerged submarine was moving parallel to shore. After patrolling for several hours over the location of the target, the men reported the submarine rose to periscope depth, at which point they dropped the Widgeon’s two Mk 17 bombs, producing a spreading oil slick and bringing fragments of wood to the surface. Farr believed he saw the bow of the submarine break the surface of the water before sinking below.”
