Is this a copy?
I recall, Years ago!, that the sole flying F3F was destroyed in a crash.
Actually, I imagine that wiki has a good history with info on flying examples.

The F3F-2 is closely related to the Wildcat. A very interesting plane imo.

I did not know Grumman was using that fuselage this far back. You can see how this thing turned into the Wildcat, the Hellcat and then the Bearcat.

Definitely had some influence on the later types.

Rare bird, indeed. I would like to see this one at Oshkosh sometime.
