The Mallard prototype first flew on April 30, 1946, and the first production aircraft entered service in September of that year. Grumman built a total of 59 Mallards, with production ceasing in 1951. While the Mallard was designed for regional airline operations with two pilots and 10 passengers, most of the 59 delivered were for corporate use. Today only 32 Mallards remain registered in the U.S.
