RRlER AIR w AIR WING PERSONNEL U . E7 4 A HISTORICAL THUMBPRIN T The Attack Carrier Air Wing is the striking arm of the nations mighty Aircraft Carrier-its pilots carrying home to the enemy the full force of a conventional or nuclear naval power. Attack Carrier Air Wing FIVE is one such force and has a proud and distinguished history which dates back over a quarter of a century. Attack Carrier Air Wing FIVE has participated in, and contributed to, many ff firsts in naval aviation history. Initially serving in the Pre-World War II Aircraft Carrier U. S. S. YORKTOWN QCV-55, as Carrier Air Group YORKTOWN, from 1938 to 1942, it was the first group to receive the now famous Douglas SBD ff Dauntless 'i dive bomber, The first to accomplish aircraft launchings from flush-deck catapultsg Participated in the first U. S. Carrier air offensive of World War II in the Pacific Theater of Operations, And played a decisive role in the first naval engagement of history fought without opposing ships making contact, in the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942. Carrier Air Group YORKTOWN was embarked in U. S. S. YORKTOWN when that gallant ship was lost to enemy action at the Battle of Midway Island in 1942. Serving later in the 4' new U. S. S. YORKTOWN QCV-10D from August 1943 to April 1944, as Carrier Air Group FIVE, it participated in many firsts in attacks on various Japanese held islands in the Pacific, Marcus, Truk, Marshalls, Gilberts, Marianas, and Western Carolines to 11ame but a few. For its part in these actions, Carrier Air Group FIVE was awarded the coveted Presidential Unit Citation. Fate again laid a destructive hand on Carrier Air Group FIVE when in 1945, while embarked in U. S. S. FRANKLIN CCV-135, off the coast of Japan, the ship sustained such severe damage from aerial bombs that a majority of the groups aircraft were destroyed and many of her heroic members were killed. This action terminated Carrier Air Group FIVE's active participation in World War II. The Post-World War II years found Carrier Air Group FIVE home ported at San Diego, California, when not embarked in one of the many aircraft carriers for routine operations and cruises to the Orient and Western Pacific as a part of the powerful Seventh Fleet. During this period a fighter squadron of the air group conducted carrier evaluations of the FJ-1 ff Fury jet fighter, This same squadron was the first to be assigned the Grumman F9F ff Panther jet fighter. In January 1950 the air group had two jet squadrons operating on the same aircraft carrier at the same time, a milestone in the annals of modern naval aviation history. In Korea in 1950, Carrier Air Group FIVE was the first carrier unit to go into action against the North Korean 44 horde when they streamed across the 38th Parallel, and thus was the first group to employ the F9F jet fighter and the AD attackwboniber in combat. In the subsequent three years, Carrier Air Group FIVE marked up the most months ingiclombafg forifa-'ksingle air group, and was awarded three Navy Unit Commendations for her deeds. Singeif-19.53, Carrier Air Group FIVE has made numerous cruises to the Western Pacific and Oriental waters in supporgoffiblational Policies. ,jiaese cruises, while not engaged in any form of actual combat, demand a high percengfage of Q.aircraftQ-aivailabilityg and a high degree of personnel training, and necesssarily demand many long hours of worfg 'Hom both tlie officers Faijd men on a daily basis. efficiency was provenfbeyond a doubt when aircraft from, the wing participated in the air strike on North Viet Nanifof August. 5, 1964.gwithout sustaining any casualty to the planes involved. Down lilfiroughvtthe years, in peace, in war, and during periods of national emergency, the officers and men of Carrier Air Group YORKTOWN, Carrier Air Group FIVE, and Carrier Air Wing FIVE have given of themselves unstintingly, and have distinguished themselves on countless occasions, earning nearly every possible award and decora. tion for their courageous acts. They have written their deeds in the annals of Naval Aviation History in the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. A record to be justly proud. Commander E. M. Cooke r. Commander Carrier Air Wing Five Commander E. M. Cooke Jr, USN, was commissioned a naval aviator in 1944. He then flew F6F Hellcats with VFN training squadrons for one year. In November 1945 he reported aboard USS Ticonderoga CVA-14 as an aviator with the VFN Team attached to AVF-87 and in August 1946 he served with the VFN Team aboard USS Franklin D. Roosevelt CVA-41. From 1947 to 1948 he studied at George Washington University under the Holloway Program. He attended General Line School in 1950 and was an F6F advanced training instructor at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas during 1951-52. He has flown from the decks of USS Philippine Sea CVA-47, USS Coral Sea CVA-43, and was Officer in Charge of the VFN Detachment aboard USS Bennington CVA-20. After three years at BAR St. Louis, he received F4D training in 1959 at NAS Key West and served as Commanding OHicer of VF-102 from 1960-61. He was then CATCC Officer aboard USS Forrestal for two years and became Commander Carrier Air Wing Five in January 1964. He is a resident of Georgetown, Texas where he attended Southwestern University. Commander Cooke is married to the former Carolyn White of Purdys, New York. i . .. E E.M. COOKE, JR. H . W. A.

D FIGHTER SQUADRGN 51 Fighter Squadron FIFTY-ONE, flying the F-8F 44 Crusader , provides an all-weather air superi- ority arm to the Ticonderoga's mighty striking force. Although operating under the most adverse conditions, the high morale and general know-how of the ff Screaming Eagles helped maintain a high availibility aboard ship while carrying the lion's share of the air wing's problems ashore. The primary mission of the F-SF is anti-air warfare under night and allweather conditions. In addition, its performance envelope, fire control system and armament make it adaptable to day superiority fighter missions and to certain air-to-ground missions.

With the Dougles U SKYRAIDERS the H KNIGHT RIDERS of VA-52, Commanded by CDR G. H. EDMONDSON, USN, are ready to go, night or day, in any weather, a very powerful component of American's front line of defense against aggression in Asia. Able to lift tremendous loads and carry them for great distances, the AD or A-1I-I, if you will, is recognized as one of the most valuable aircraft ever designed for carrier aviation. Not only did the Able Dog prove to be the best plane for close air support in Korea, but it became the aircraft for interdiction, disruption of enemy supply lines, tactical target destruction, even the topedoing of dams. Almost any desired conventional attack may be made, dive bombing, rockets, strafing, or napalm. Unilke their faster counter parts, the AD can operate efficiently at low altitude, and at extremely long rantes-consequently, any long range low level mission is the squadron's assignmen, Many eulogies and farewells have been written about the old ABLE DOG but today, nineteen years after the old birds first flight, each attack carrier air wing in the United States Navy has a squadron flying this the most varsatile and powerful single engine aircraft ever designed.

Original commissioned as VB-4, in late 1948, the squadron traded their TBM's for AD-1 Skyraiders, and by changing their designator to VA-55 embark- ed upon a more extensive reorganization from a torpedo attack to a general interdiction mission. On April 27, 1950, the squadron embarked aboard the USS Valley Forge for a six month cruise th Hawaii, Guam, the Philip- pines and Hong Kong. On 27 June 1950, while at anchor in Hong Kong, the ship received orders to depart immediately for operations in the Korean area. In February 1958, the squadron exchanged their ADS for jets. VA-55 has more striking power, versatility, range, and speed than several WWII squadrons. In july 1962, VA- 55 embarked aboard the USS Constellation at Norfolk, Virginia for an ff Around the Horn cruise. The cruise was completed on 17 September 1962 at San Diego, California. The squadron is presently on their fourteenth cruise to Westpac since 1947. The squadron flies the versatile A4E ff Skyhawk . xg :iz ffm A I ,',, I f X A,0i , ,. , I f MQ , 'I .1 V , . , '.f4Mwg4.

TIGNER Commanding Officer Executive Officer ATTACK SQUADRQ FIFTY-SIX Attack squadron FIFTY-SIX, well known as 44 The Champions , was commisioned in June 1956, and since that time has made six extended carrier deployments under eight commanding officers. ff The Champions fly the Douglas A4E Skyhawk, a versatile light Jet attack aircraft. A weapon with which the squadron trains and mainains a high state of proficiency, is the Bullpup, a pilot guided air-to-ground missile which by its high accuracy has proven extremely suitable for the close air support of ground troops and for interdiction type missions. While embarked aboard TICONDEROGA, 4' The Champions maintain the posture of constant readiness to perform their mission, the effective delivery of air-to-ground ordnance, by participating in frequent simulated air strikes, tak- ing part in joint air defense exercises with friendly Far East Nations, and employing live ordnance in practice weapons delivery maneuvers. The squadron can look with pride to its reputation as a smart, professional organization, helping to provide a powerful first line of defense against any encroachment of our nation's great heritage of freedom.
