The first goose was built in 1937. Data in this
table is for an early military version. The retractable gear on this model
was operated by a hand crank next to the pilot's seat. Later models had
both retractable gear and floats, and a higher gross weight. Some geese
were used in submarine patrol along the Atlantic coast during World War
II. Military geese could be fitted with two 100 pound bombs or two 325
pound bombs.
