JP-4 was the USAF standard from 1951-95. It was replaced in USAF use by JP-8, starting in 1979 in the UK and completing throughout USAF facilities in 1995.


JP-5 was developed in 1952 specifically for ship-board use, and the USN has used it as the sole ship-authorized jet fuel since the early-mid 1950s. {This surprised me, as I thought it had been adopted later - but I saw the 1950s date from multiple sources.}
