The Grumman G-21 Goose amphibious aircraft was Grumman’s first monoplane to fly, its first twin-engined aircraft, and its first aircraft to enter commercial airline service. It was designed as an eight-seat "commuter" business plane, but became an effective transport for the US military (including the Coast Guard), as well as serving with many other air forces. During World War II, the Goose took on an increasing number of combat and training roles. The adaptable transport continued in postwar use as civilian and military purposes. US Navy/US Coast Guard Gooses were designated JRF, whilst British user designation was Grumman Goose Mk.I/Mk.II.
