Naval Air Facility Litchfield Park, Phoenix, AZ

Naval Air Facility Litchfield Park, located near Phoenix, Arizona, was established during World War II in 1941 as a support and maintenance base for naval aircraft. Initially serving as a training and storage facility, it became a key site for aircraft repair and overhaul, particularly for aircraft returning from the Pacific Theater. After the war, the base continued its operations, notably as a storage and reclamation center for surplus Navy and Marine Corps aircraft during the postwar drawdown. The facility was eventually closed in 1968, and the site later became Phoenix Goodyear Airport.
