VMA-134

Marine Attack Squadron 134 (VMA-134), also known as the “Smoke Dragons,” was a United States Marine Corps reserve attack squadron. Originally activated during World War II in 1943 as Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 134 (VMSB-134), it participated in the Pacific Theater, including service in the Solomon Islands. The squadron was deactivated after the war but later reactivated in the Marine Forces Reserve, transitioning to the A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft and redesignated as VMA-134. Based at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro and later at NAS Alameda, VMA-134 provided close air support and attack capabilities until its deactivation in 1992.
