Thanks George you are right of course; I think when RANGER was commissioned in 1934 it was not planned for a VT squadron. Possibly a Detachment in January 1943?

"www.history.navy.mil/research/histories" had a very useful section on US Navy aircraft locations in WW2 but it seems to have gone; have you come across it lately?
I've got a page I saved on Atlantic CVE compositions and RANGER was on it too,dated 7 March 1944 back on the east coast; the F4Fs had been replaced by FM-2s.
Regards

Nick
