PERFECT FLIGHT - THE TRACKER - GRUMANN S2-E/S2-A V3.0

The S2-A/E is an antisubmarine aircraft whose mission is to search and attack enemy submarines. After the world war II, to search and anti-submarines and attack aircrafts, U.S. Navy adopted the tactics to work in groups of two carrier aircrafts; one of which is a searcher with radar equipments and another is an armed attacker. Among them were the carrier aircrafts powered a single engine, such as the Grumman TBM-3W/3S Avenger and the Grumman AF-2W /2S Guardian. Around 1950, the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation newly designed a twin engine carrier aircraft that can fulfill two missions of search and attack simultaneously. The maiden flight of the prototype was made on December 14, 1952 . this was the Grumman XS2F-1 Sentinel, an antisubmarine search and attack carrier aircraft. In February of 1952, U.S. Navy started to use this aircraft carrier and designated it the S2F-1 Tracker.
