A History of Marine Attack Squadron 223
 
by 1st Lt. Brett A. Jones, USMC
 

Commissioned as Marine Fighting Squadron (MF) 223 in 1942, Marine Attack Squadron 223 has a long and illustrious career of outstanding accomplishments and has produced some of the finest aviators in the history of the Marine Corps.

 

This work sketches the achievements and personalities that have made VMA-223 such an outstanding Marine squadron. In World War II the squadron flew the Brewster F2A Buffalo, the Grumman F4F Wildcat and the Chance-Vought F4U-1 Corsair.

 

The author was a member of the squadron from February 1974 to July 1975.
