VP-62

Patrol Squadron 62 (VP-62) was a U.S. Navy maritime patrol squadron established on 1 August 1942 during World War II. The squadron was initially based at NAS Alameda, California, flying the PBY Catalina seaplane on anti-submarine and maritime patrol missions. VP-62 was deployed to the Aleutian Islands, operating from bases such as Dutch Harbor and Adak, where it conducted reconnaissance and search operations against Japanese forces in the North Pacific. The squadron was disestablished on 21 June 1943 following the reduction of enemy activity in the Aleutians and the shifting strategic needs of the U.S. Navy.
