A rare item because only two of these were used by the Marine Corps. When VMF-2 was formed in 1937 they used F3F-1's and F2F-1's while awaiting delivery of the new F3F-2's. This one was visiting NRAB Oakland in the summer of 1937. This photo is copyright © William T. Larkins (Bill Larkins), and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
