US Marine Corps unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marine Photographic Squadron 154 (VMD-154) was a United States Marine Corps photographic reconnaissance squadron originally commissioned during World War II. The squadron deployed overseas in late 1942 to support the final stages of the Guadalcanal campaign and continued flying missions throughout the Solomon and Russell Islands until returning to the United States in December 1943. During the war, the squadron flew the PB4Y-1 Liberator during its combat deployment and later transitioned to the F6F-3P Hellcat. VMD-154 was decommissioned on September 10, 1945. Since that date, no other Marine Corps squadron has carried the lineage and honors of VMP-154.
