Heritage
- In 1944, the Navy
acquired the Brewster Aircraft Corporation which consisted of
production shops,administration spaces and the adjoining airfield and
hangar spaces. The Navy designated the plant the Naval Air Modification
Unit (NAMU), a branch of the Naval Air Material Center (NAMC),
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The task assigned to NAMU involved quantity
conversion and modification of newly produced aircraft prior to
delivery to the fleet for combat use. With the end of WW II the need
for NAMU vanished and in 1947 it was redesignated as the U. S. Naval
Air Development Station (NADS). Expansion of NADS activities
necessitated another reorganization along more functional lines as the
U. S. Naval Air Development Center (NADC) in 1949. NADC became part of
the Naval Air Warfare Center command in 1996 and was closed 31 Mar 1997
