During 1955, the Navy's heretofore covert P4M-1Q airborne electronic
intelligence activities were consolidated organizationally and commissioned as bona fide aircraft squadrons - VQ-1 on 1 June and VQ-2 on 1 September 1955. (The antecedent Communications Units and Airborne Early Warning Squadron detachments were dissolved and combined in the new units.) A group of us who were "Plankowners" - present at the commissioning - of one or the other of the two squadrons have been in touch with one another and we are engaged in locating and contacting as many other plankowners as we can with the intention of making some kind of a presentation to the two squadrons in recognition in 2005 of their half-century history. We have - through personal contacts, Association membership rosters and live sightings - managed to locate about fifty officer and enlisted from both squadrons and we are now searching for the rest of the crowd. The current Holy Grail is the Squadron Log for the commissioning days, and we're in contact with the Modern Military Branch of the National Archives and Records Administration in an attempt to track them down but I'm afraid that just ain 't going to work. I was in about five or six aviation commands and I never heard of the Squadron Logs being treated with the sanctity or gravity the Ships Logs I used to have to sign each month when I drove the gray things around. So two requests....anybody out there a P4M-1Q driver who's not on our list (you'd know if you were) and any suggestions (BuPers?) as to where I can find two almost 50 year of Squadron logs? Thanks in advance! |
