The story

Grumman designed the Ag Cat as a purpose-built crop duster: a tough working biplane from the company that built Navy fighters — and it shows.

Fun fact

Grumman named it in the tradition of its Navy fighters (Wildcat, Hellcat), then had Schweizer build it because military orders filled its own factory.
