J2F Duck History: The J2F Ducks are a three-seat utility amphibian used in a variety of roles from land bases and carriers, including patrol, photo survey and rescue. With its powerful R1820-54 engine, the Duck had a range of 750 miles and a ceiling of 25,000 ft. The J2F aircraft or Duck was made by Loening Aeronautical Engineering Corporation. The J2F Duck is a single engine amphibious biplane manufactured from 1933 until 1945. The Duck aircraft was used by the US Navy and Coast Guard in several missions such as mapping, rescue work, photography and target training. It is said that the J2F Duck was a flying boat since its main pontoon was part of the fuselage. The J2F aircraft may have some similarities to a conventional landplane. The J2F Duck is capable of taking off and touching down on land and water. In late 1941, Captain Miller was asked by the president of Columbia Aircraft to lead the test flight program for another strange looking hybrid by the J2F Duck aircraft. Captain Miller encountered some struggles in operating the J2F Duck but he was still able to land at Floyd Bennett Field, a formal Naval base in Brooklyn. The J2F Duck is not really a fighter plane but is more of a scouting and transport aircraft. The design of the J2F allowed it to efficiently land on the surface of the water, thus, it was also called the amphibious plane. In history, there were around 330 J2F Ducks that were made. The J2F Duck was even used in the movie, “Murphy’s War”. In July 1941, the last Duck aircraft was built. This time, various new featured were included, the Power of the Wright Cyclone was raised to 950 hp, the design returned the broad chord engine cowling of the Pratt-Whitney and increase of bomb load.
