vmfa 531
U.S. Marine Corps
VMFA-531, originally commissioned as Marine Fighter Squadron 531 (VMF-531) in October 1942, was a United States Marine Corps fighter squadron. The unit served throughout World War II, notably participating in Pacific campaigns. Redesignated as VMFA-531 in 1965 to reflect its new role as a Marine Fighter Attack Squadron, the unit became the first operational squadron to fly the F-4B Phantom II. VMFA-531 supported combat operations during the Vietnam War and continued service until its deactivation in 1992.
