This page is under construction. It will contain information about US Navy JD-1 Invaders assigned to the Litchfield Park Storage Facility.

NOTE: This list may not be all-inclusive. We are only including planes on this page that definitely list Litchfield Park as an assignment. However, there are a couple of planes that were likely stored here early in their careers (77143, and 77144 in particular) that don't explicitly list the park, so they are omitted.

History

Litchfield Park was a Storage Facility for planes not in use.

77143		22 Aug 1945	Oct 1945	This plane doesn't explicitly list Litchfield Park during this timeframe, but there is a gap on it's record and many of the Invaders went to Litchfield first. We assume this plane did as well and it is not listed, otherwise the plane is unaccounted for during a 2 month period. It was assigned to XVJ-25.
