A History of Marine Attack Squadron 311
 
by Maj. William J. Sambito, USMC
 
The history of Marine Attack Squadron 311, the "Tomcats," is traced from its commissioning in December 1942 through three wars and several evolutions during which the unit made the transition from a fighting squadron flying propeller-driven planes to a modern attack squadron equipped with high-performance jet aircraft.
 
The history was prepared principally from primary sources such as command diaries and chronologies, published historical works, and recollections of Marines involved.
 
Originally published in 1978 by the History and Museums Division, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, Washington, D.C.
