Re: Martin 167 A3

Stig,

In the Crosnier/DuBois book on the French SBDs it states that the Martin 167F-equipped 2B and 3B were disbanded in April 1944 and reformed at Agadir as the 3rd flottille de bombardment (3FB) to fly the SBD. Similarly, the disbanded 6B and 7B (leO 451) reformed as 4FB, also with the SBD. As you are probably aware, they were known to the US Navy in Morocco as VFB-1 and VFB-2, respectively.
