Historical Information about the S-2E Tracker

The Grumman S-2 Tracker is an American twin-engine patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft used primarily by the US Navy. The S-2E version, for which the presented bomb bay set is intended, entered service in the 1960s during the Cold War and saw extensive use up until the 1980s. The S-2E operated from aircraft carriers, conducting patrol missions over the Atlantic and Pacific. It was used mainly by the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and Japan. Its main task was detection and neutralization of enemy submarines—the bomb bay allowed for the carriage of depth charges, torpedoes, and sonar buoys.
