'''Loening Aeronautical Engineering Corporation''' was founded 1917 by [[Grover Loening]] and produced early aircraft and amphibious aircraft beginning in 1917.

Many Loening flying boats were similar in appearance to the later [[Grumman JF Duck|Grumman Duck]], featuring a single large float under the fuselage. [[Leroy Grumman]] had been General Manager at Loening Aeronautical Engineering Company, and after Grumman and colleagues/co-founders [[Jake Swirbul|Leon "Jake" Swirbul]], [[William T. Schwendler|Bill Schwendler]], and [[Ed Poor]] struck out on their own following Loening's merger with Keystone, Grumman's new company's initial business strategy was the repair of Loening aircraft for the U.S. Navy. Grumman soon began marketing aircraft of its own, based largely on concepts developed at Loening. Almost the entire early Grumman work force were ex-Loening employees.
