Comment thread "Former site of Republic Aviation factory" for Republic Airport

Comments 1 to 1 of 1 in the thread "Former site of Republic Aviation factory" (Republic Airport):

This mall is built on the site of the former the Republic Aviation Corporation. During World War II, it built over 9,000 P-47 Thunderbolts together with several other aircraft. Fairchild bought out the company in 1965, and the plant closed in 1988. The last building was demolished in 1997 to make way for a mall expansion.
