VU10

VU-10, also known as Utility Squadron 10, was a United States Navy aviation unit established during World War II. Formed in the early 1940s, VU-10 operated primarily from bases in the Pacific, providing target towing and utility services to fleet units, including aerial gunnery training and drone operations. The squadron played a crucial role in supporting combat readiness by enabling realistic training exercises for anti-aircraft crews and fighter pilots. After the war, VU-10 continued its support roles until it was eventually disestablished as newer technologies and organizational changes rendered such squadrons obsolete.
