This publication traces more than 40 years of active service by Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115. Since its commissioning in July 1943 the squadron has evolved from a group of wartime beginners in SNJ-4 planes to front line professionals in their F/A-18 Hornets. The history provides an informative overview of the development and employment of this squadron over a span of nearly five decades. Data for the history was drawn principally from primary sources: command diaries and chronologies; muster rolls; published historical works; and recollections of the Marines involved.
