Although the thread is primarily about USS Fanshaw and the FM-2 Wildcats, a lot of links to US Navy data sites might be relevant to your VF-18 search on the Intrepid.

Geoff, thanks for the link. Unfortunately I've plumbed those sites before, but it never hurts to re-tread old haunts in case something slipped through the cracks.
If there's interest in this unit, I have Newspapers.com clippings I can share via link for members of these boards to browse, as well as a Flickr account with newspaper clippings, pictures, etc. pertaining to the men of the squadron. I could do an extensive write-up as well for those less familiar with "Two-a-Day 18." The other high-scoring Navy fighter squadrons of the war all have books written about them (at the very least they get the Osprey treatment). Unfortunately that's not the case with Fighting 18.
Cheers,
-Mike
