Is this not the plant where the P-51C models were made during the war? Then after the war, it was closed but then the navy decided that with Grumman and Vought being mere air miles from one another and one nuke could take them both out, that they better move one of them so vought loaded up 80 freight trains of 100 cars each and moved to Texas - specifically the shuddered North American plant - while never even taking the last of the Corsairs out of production.

Trivia....every Corsair aileron is made out of what material?

cheers



I believe fabaric covered until the -5 came out then they switched to metal. Maybe vought can come back to Stratford,ct?
