Operational Overview Leroy Grumman started his company in December, 1929 and began producing aircraft floats for the U.S. Navy and truck frames from their factory on Long Island, New York. 90 years later (and after a merger with a small aviation manufacturer named Northrop), the Grumman Corporation has a reputation for putting out some of the greatest aircraft the American military services, especially the Navy, have ever flown. From the FF-1 through the F-14 with forays into the attack business with bombers such as the TBF and A-6, COD, tracking, business jet, float planes, and yes, still trucks, Grumman is one of the most storied companies in the field of aviation in the U.S. and the world.
