“Candy Clipper” in the hangar at Fantasy of Flight museum. This airworthy Duck was built in 1945. It is named after the famous J2F-4 Duck that served on Bataan in the Philippines, being the last aircraft to leave the besieged island in 1942. The aircraft was bought by Kermit Weeks in 1983. The last variant of Duck to be built by Grumman was the J2F-5 powered by a 950 hp Wright R-1820-50 engine. After Pearl Harbor 330 J2F-6 Ducks with a 1,050 hp R1820-54 engine were ordered. The amphibians were built by Columbia Aircraft Corporation at Valley Stream, Long Island, of which this is one.
