Framed Print of Grumman G-22 Gulfhawk II, 1936. Creator: Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation
NR1050. Aerobatic biplane flown by Major Alford Al Williams as demonstration aircraft for Gulf Oil Company. Similar to Grumman F3F single-seat fighter aircraft flown by the U.S. Navy. Wright Cyclone R-1820-G1 engine, 1000 hp. One of the most exciting aerobatic aircraft of the 1930s and 40s, the Grumman Gulfhawk II was built for retired naval aviator and air show pilot Al Williams. As head of the Gulf Oil Companys aviation department, Williams flew in military and civilian air shows around the country, performing precision aerobatics and dive-bombing maneuvers to promote military aviation during the interwar years. The sturdy civilian biplane, with its strong aluminum monocoque fuselage and Wright Cyclone engine, nearly matched the Grumman F3F standard Navy fighter, which was operational at the time. It took its orange paint scheme from Williams Curtiss 1A Gulfhawk, also in the Smithsonians collection. Williams personally piloted the Gulfhawk II on its last flight in 1948 to Washingtons National Airport. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
