Fighting Three dates back to the early 19205 and Bombing Three dates back to the early l93Os. Carrier Air Group Three was established in the mid-1930s aboard the U.S.S. RANGER. During the latter part ot the decade until T941 the group divided its time between the U.S.S. SARATOGA and San Diego. On the day after Pearl Harbor, Air Group Three boarded the SARATOGA and departed the United States for the Hawaiian Islands. During the next two months they operated in that area until the SARATOGA was torpedoed and had to return tor repairs. Continued on next pogel - M 2-.oz-:-:I-I-2:-..
