Hadley Field was an airport in South Plainfield, in Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States. It contained the Nike Missile Battery NY-65 and was used as a landing site for some of the nation's early air mail service.[1] Hadley Field opened in 1924, and closed in 1928 when Newark Metropolitan Airport opened. The site has since been redeveloped into a strip mall and is currently owned by National Realty and Development Corp.[2]
