VMA-212 1955--1957

Comments: I joined VMA-212 in mid 1955 and left in mid 1957. I was a member of the finest Ordnance shop in Marine Corps Aviation. During the month of May 1956 our squadron flew 4,276.2 hours with AD aircraft. No one in the history of aviation has ever beaten that record. I would like to reach other Marines that served during that time.

VMA 212 ORDNACE GROUP AT K-6

Comments: I was in VMA 212 Ordnance at K-18 then K-6 during the time period Apr '52 to Feb '53. There were many long days, and at times it was hard work lifting those bombs and rockets onto the Corsairs. But, we usually had some time for fun too - cards, dominos, volleyball, snow-ball fights, and "shooting the bull". We all took pride in our jobs, doing our part so the squadron could accomplish its mission.
