The Story Behind the Gulfhawk II

Originally modified by Grumman Aircraft Company, the Gulfhawk II made its mark as a promotional tool for their biplane fighter-bombers. It's powered by a 1,000-horsepower Wright Cyclone engine, generating impressive speeds close to 300 MPH. Renowned test pilot Major Al Williams pushed the limits of this aircraft through dynamic exhibitions across the United States and Europe. Its journey culminated in a historic final flight in 1948, after which it became a lasting exhibit at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
