Re: Scrapped planes after WWII
A friend of mine was a B-24 pilot during the war. After completing his 35 missions he came back to the States as an Instructor and Ferry pilot. He told me at the end of the war he had flown brand new B-25's right from the factory to storage yards in Arizona to be scrapped.
As an example of how quick things could wind down, FG-1D Corsair production at Goodyear shutdown the second week of Sept. 45. In May 45 the Navy excepted 302 from Vought & 195 from Goodyear, July 45 the Navy excepted 303 from Vought & 180 from Goodyear. Sept. saw 41 from Vought & 68 from Goodyear. Regards, Mike
