USMC Squadron Lineage...

Based off the thread of “VF-103 becoming Super Bugs”, here are a few USMC squadrons that can trace their lineage back to WWII.

VMA-211
VMA-214
VMA-223
VMA-231
VMA-311
VMFA(AW)-121…F/A-18D
VMFA-112
VMFA-122
VMFA-212
VMFA(AW)-224…F/A-18D

VMAs are AV-8B II/II+ Harrier Sqaudrons and the VMFAs are F/A-18A+ or F/A-18C Squadrons. VMFA(AW)s are F/A-18D Squadrons.

VMA-513 made a name for themselves in Korea.

I know there are a lot more, but once again, just a few off the top of my head.

Does anyone have info on some of the origins of some of the Army or Air Force squadrons?
