The Grumman G-44 Widgeon prototype first flew in July 1940. It was intended to follow the Goose as a light civilian aircraft, but WWII interrupted those plans. Grumman delivered 176 G-44 Widgeons to the U.S. and British military. After the war, the plane was refined for improved water handling and six-person seating capacity. More than 266 were built. Most of those that still fly are privately owned. US Coast Guard Widgeon US Coast Guard Widgeon
