Air Transport Squadron 22 Norfolk,VA

Air Transport Squadron 22, based in Norfolk, VA, was a United States Navy unit established during World War II to support the rapid movement of personnel, equipment, and supplies. Activated as part of the Naval Air Transport Service (NATS) in the early 1940s, the squadron played a crucial role in transatlantic and domestic logistics, operating a variety of transport aircraft such as the R4D and R5D. Its missions included ferrying high-priority cargo, mail, and medical evacuees between the U.S., Europe, and other key locations. After the war, the squadron continued to provide critical logistical support until it was eventually re-designated or disbanded as military air transport operations were consolidated under other commands.
