224 Scrap Book
Website Information Page
Purpose and Use
Goal: To document the activities of Marine Fighting Squadron 224 thereby highlighting the contributions of all Marine aviation. Most histories are told through the perspective of the individual telling the history. By using a unit scrapbook format, we can look back in time and view the squadron’s activities through the perspective of the various individuals as well as a variety of reports and government records. Hopefully, you will find the site both interesting and informative.
