Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tables below cover every one of the 280 squadrons listed in the U.S. Navy's two-volume Dictionary of American Naval Aviation Squadrons (DANAS).[a] Volume 1 covers every squadron in the Attack (VA) and Strike Fighter (VFA) communities from 1935 to 1995.[1] Volume 2 covers every squadron in the Patrol (VP) community from 1922 through 1996.[2]

You can see any squadron's DANAS article by following the link to the cited reference and scrolling down to the appropriate page. You can see its Wikipedia article by clicking the Wikilink in the table; if there is no Wikilink, there is no known article for the squadron.

VA squadrons

[edit]

This table shows the 88 VA Attack Squadrons listed in Volume 1 of DANAS. A detailed lineage list for all squadrons mentioned in Volume 1 is available HERE.

The articles for these squadrons are in the process of being renamed to parallel the names of articles in the other sections. For example, Third VA-34 (U.S. Navy) will become merely VA-34. This is an intricate process incorporating lessons learned while creating over a hundred squadron articles, and requiring coordination among several Wiki Projects; please do not rename any of these squadron articles yourself unless you are totally aware of all the intricacies.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Published in the public domain by the Naval Historical Center of the U.S. Department of the Navy's Naval History and Heritage Command, DANAS is the official and authoritative source of information about the squadrons it covers. Additional volumes are planned.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g h i If a squadron is still active, a link to its public domain website is provided in this column. Otherwise, the column entry shows the year in which the squadron was first established and the year in which it was finally disestablished. Squadrons typically had more than one designation during that time. They are listed according to their designation when disestablished.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h i The hyperlink in the reference will take you to the section of DANAS that includes this squadron and several others. (DANAS is in the public domain, so there are no copyright considerations in linking directly to it here.) Scroll down to find the one you want. In addition to the material in the Wikipedia article, DANAS articles include extensive material on the squadron's insignia and nickname; detailed lists of Commanding Officers, major overseas deployments, wing assignments and unit awards received; and photos of the squadron's men and aircraft.
  4. ^ VP-64 was redesignated as Fleet Logistic Support Squadron VR-64 in 2004. VR-64 is still an active squadron, and its public domain website is HERE.
