During WWII, the Grumman "Avenger" was assembled at the Eastern Aircraft Plant in Ewing. Here's an article detailing a dance that was held by the Union. Those hard-working employees at Eastern during WWII certainly deserved a break from their very long hours. The Grumman Avenger inserted at the top is a reduced version of a beautiful color photo I have in my collection. As a boy, I remember the many test flights which brought many of those Grumman beauties over my Hartley Avenue home. You could actually see the pilot in many of their low flyovers.
