VP-6 (1924-6)

Operational history

• 29 May 1924: VP-6 was scheduled for establishment using naval station assets at NAS Hampton Roads, Virginia. Prior to the designation of patrol squadrons, each naval station had maintained a small section of flying boats and float planes. These aircraft, pilots and support personnel formed the cadre of the first true patrol squadrons in the Navy. Unfortunately, documentation does not exist to verify that this squadron was actually established. It appears to have been a paper squadron listed in the records, but never formed.
• 3 May 1926: VP-6 was removed from the records.
