List of inactive United States Marine Corps aircraft squadrons : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of inactive United States Marine Corps aircraft squadrons While other nations have Marines who are aviators, only the United States Marine Corps has its own dedicated aviation arm.〔Shettle ''USMC Air Stations of WWII'', p.9.〕 Most squadrons have changed names and designations many times over the years so they are listed by their final designation. ==Squadron designations==
The basic tactical and administrative unit of United States Marine Corps Aviation is the squadron. Fixed-wing aircraft squadrons (heavier than air) are denoted by the letter "V," which comes from the French verb "Voler" (to fly). Rotary wing (helicopter) squadrons use "H." Marine squadrons are always noted by the second letter "M." Squadron numbering is not linear as some were numbered in ascending order and others took numbers from the wing or the ship to which they were assigned. From 1920 to 1941, Marine flying squadrons were identified by one digit numbers. This changed on July 1, 1941 when all existing squadrons were redesignated to a three-digit system. The first two numbers were supposed to identify the squadrons parent group but with the rapid expansion during the war and frequent transfer of squadrons this system fell apart.〔Rottman ''USMC WWII OOB,'' p.397.〕
