TTACK Squadron 45 began its existence September 1, 1950, as the fifth squadron, as- signed to attack operations, of Carrier Air Group Four. They trained in Douglas AD-2 Sky Raiders. On April 23, 1951, VA-41.5 fiew aboard the Oriskany at Mayport, near the Squadron's base at Jacksonville, Fla. During the next two days, all pilots qualified in day and night carrier landings. For the Mediterranean Cruise, VA-4.5 embarked under command of CDR George O. Wood, USN, with LCDR Ralph E. Cheney, USN, as Executive Officer. , Directed by LCDR ,lack B. Jones, USN, the maintenance de- A partment produced excellent aircraft availability to meet op- erational requirements during the cruise. A special HWell donew was extended to the chiefs of the Squadron and the entire maintenance crew for their efforts in maintaining Squadron aircraft. Bossing the Squadronis Flight Deck crew was a rugged job. lt took 30 pounds off the Waistline of Chief John E. Livingstone. But it was Worth it for the Squadron ranked consistently high in achieving the goals of the Air Group and of the Oriskany. Enthusiasm for Work boiled over into time off for liberty. Both officers and men brought back many mementos from foreign ports: fezzes from Africa and Turkey, photographs of the Parthenon, and healthy tans from the beaches along the French Riviera. In memory, all these shores were successfully invaded. 4 f A xiii' .J Q IJ. G. H. Gardner, Jr. Lt. J. K. Mealy, Jr. LTJG R. K. Morrow LTJG W. D.
