	Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Leroy Grumman and others worked for the Loening Aircraft Engineering Corporation in the 1920s, but when it was bought by Keystone Aircraft Corporation and the operations moved from New York City to Pennsylvania, Grumman and his partners (Ed Poor,, Jake Swirbul, and) started their own company in an old factory in Baldwin on Long Island.
		Grumman's first jet plane, the F9F Panther, became operational in 1949, but the company's big post-war successes came in the 1960s with the A-6 Intruder and in the 1970s with the F-14 Tomcat.

		Grumman joined the Naval Reserve and entered a course in airplane inspection for pilot trainees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
		Grumman and Swirbul met in 1924 at Loening Aeronautical Engineering Co in New York City, one of the many small aircraft firms that sprang up after World War I. In 1919, when the firm landed a contract to build 50 planes for the government, the Navy sent Grumman to oversee construction.
		Grumman mortgaged his house, and Swirbul's mother borrowed $6,000 to set up Grumman Aeronautical Engineering Co. Schwendler joined them, along with two other men who would be the company's inner circle of management for the next 50 years: Ed Poor and E Clinton Towl.
