I found this thread interesting, as I live in the area. And my family has lived in the area for generations. A family member worked for Curtis Wright in Paterson during the war. With regard to the plane in the park, I believe you are referring to Main Memorial Park South, by the library. In the 1954 aerial you can barely make out the silhouette of an aircraft in the circular walking paths next to the old library. If you were traveling from pompton plains to clifton during that time you would have traveled down 46 and the park is right next to the highway.
