Re: VGF

During the early part of World War II many new squadron designations were established. The following new squadron designations became effective in 1942:

ZP for Blimp Squadron
VGS for Escort Scouting Squadrons
VGF for Escort Fighting Squadrons
VR for Transport Squadrons

Other squadron designation changes, effective 1 March 1943, included:

Inshore Patrol Squadrons redesignated VS (Scouting Squadrons),
Escort Fighting Squadrons (VGF) became Fighting Squadrons (VF),
Escort Scouting Squadrons (VGS) redesignated Composite Squadrons (VC),
Patrol Squadrons operating land-based aircraft became Bombing Squadrons (VB) with three-digit numbers.
