Fighter Squadron 112 (VF-112), known as the “Fighting 112” or "Golden Falcons," was a United States Navy fighter squadron established in 1945. Initially flying the F6F Hellcat and later transitioning to jets such as the F9F Panther and F8U Crusader, VF-112 participated notably in the Korean War, where it earned distinction for its combat operations and aerial victories. The squadron operated primarily from aircraft carriers, providing air superiority and ground attack support. VF-112 was disestablished in 1962, but its legacy persists as part of the Navy’s proud carrier aviation history.
