Documents and Historical Archives
In addition to maintaining records of our governing documents such as the Association's Bylaws, the VP-45 Association receives, discovers, stumbles upon, researches or otherwise digs up historical information about the squadron and the Association from time to time. We would like to make that information available to you when we receive it even if it is presented in a relatively "raw" format. Additionally, when we receive historical information that does not fit to any other section of this website, it will likely end up here.
We always like to receive this kind of data from our members or others who might want to contribute. We can process both hard copy and digital files. Just about anything historical might fit here. For examples: Squadron logs and records, old flight schedules, squadron correspondence, letters home, cruise books, diaries, film clips, etc. To keep our costs low, please try to provide copies (digital or hard copy) that we need not have to return. In the case of cruise books or other items hard to scan or copy, we can certainly return those.
Let us know what you have via the "Contact Us" button at the top right of this page.
