Events July 1, 1943: Marine Attack Squadron 322 is activated as Marine Fighter Squadron 322. At that time, the Squadron was referred to as "the Cannon Ball Squadron." Fall 1943: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 was transferred to Parris Island, South Carolina where it began training in the F4U-1D Corsair. January 1944: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 deployed to Marine Corps Air Stations EWA Oahu, Hawaii, where it underwent extensive combat flight training. October 1944: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 then moved to Espiritu Santo Island located in the South Pacific. VMF-322 was then attached to MAG-33 and received the Squadron's first combat orders of the Second World War, to support the amphibious invasion of the island of Okinawa. April 3, 1945: On the morning of April 3, the Squadron's lead support element was struck by a Japanese Kamikaze aircraft while attempting to come ashore in a LST. Over one hundred fifty VMF-322 Marines were killed instantly in the attack. April 9, 1944: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 continued on, in true fighting spirit and flew their F4U-1D Corsairs into Kadena airfield and continued their fighter and attack missions in support of the battles on Okinawa and Iheya Shima. June 12, 1945: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 conducted the first attack mission by a Marine squadron against the Japanese mainland when they bombed and strafed Kanoya Airfield on Kyushu. July 1945: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 the Squadron moved from Kadena to Awase Airfield where they operated until the end of the war. In addition to the numerous close air support and other attack missions conducted, VMF-322 was also credited with 20 kills at the time of the Japanese surrender. November 1945: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 moved to Midway Island where they were attached to MAG-44 and received new F4U-4 Corsairs. The Squadron remained on Midway until July 1947.

April 1949: VMF-322 finally returned to the United States aboard the USS Princeton (CV-37) and was stationed at Marine Corps Air Stations Edenton, North Carolina. November 30, 1949: The Squadron was disestablished. July 6, 1951: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 was established at the Naval Air Station Squantum, Massachusetts, just outside of the city of Boston. The Squadron was attached to the Marine Air Reserves and continued to fly the F4U-4 Corsair. Many of the new Reserve Pilots joining VMF-322 were just returning from service in Korea. December 1953: The United States Navy reactivated Naval Air Station South Weymouth, Massachusetts. January 1954: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 moved to Naval Air Station South Weymouth, Massachusetts. March of 1955: Marine Fighter Squadron 322 retired the last of their F4U Corsairs and received the new F9F-6 Grumman Cougar. The Squadron had the distinction of being the first unit in New England flying jet aircraft. May 1958: VMF-322 was redesignated Marine Attack Squadron 322 (VMA-322), recognizing the primary mission of close air support.

During the years that followed, VMA-322 flew four versions of the legendary Skyhawk: the A-4C, A-4E, TA-4J and the A-4M.
December 7, 1975: Capt. Andrew James Ley ejected safely when his Marine A-4 Skyhawk jet (A-4E BuNo 150135) crashed in a wooded area near Colebrook, NH, Sunday. Des Moines Register, Monday, December 8, 1975. It was a 4 plane (Hallett, Bradstreet, Wetzel and moi) for 2 v 2 ACM, a Sunday morning, Dec 7 (!!). Seemed prudent indeed passing 7,000 and still out of control (unrecoverable spin), tho with periodic negative G and head against the canopy figured my neck could take a hit. Still think I've got an accounting credit for the F-4 I saved in '69. From Andrew Ley. - Bruce the " Drew punching out " flight was a 4 plane ACM flight. My recollection was that Bernie was leading. The four fighter pilots were me, Drew, Bernie, and Warren. I was in a vertical with everyone aft when Warren comes up on the radio " Holy S*** Drew just ejected "! All of us then hung around probably longer than we should have. Observed Drew walking down some Cow Hampshire logging road holding his parachute, I think. Warren and I then hightailed it for Pease and landed on fumes. I think Bernie ended up tanking from one of the Pease air guard tankers and returned to Weymouth. Not totally confident in my recollections. I'm sure Drew, Bernie, and Warren can fine tune them. I'm with you - can't remember any accidents in the 1971-time frame! Dave Davhal. - Hi Dave and all. Good recall Dave. Pretty close. I was the lead, and we were doing ACM (I was ACTI) - defensive turns - Drew boy and BFB defending - Dave and Warren attacking - We forced overshoot - Dave and Warren went vertical - Dave over the top - with enough energy at start - Drew and I followed - not enough V for Drew and Warren - slice turn for me. We had double falling leaves (Drew and Warren)- fire out the intakes and all. Quite a frightening site. Drew came out of post stall gyrations in spin - Warren came out stable - We did see Drew and aircraft hit the ground - small fire ball - big hole. Drew was very lucky and avoided pine trees all around and landed in farmers field near small road (I'd say 1/100 odds. On second pass - very low - two cars facing each other in the road - Drew in the road waving holding his chute. All very near the Balsams which we could see on pull off also lucky landed in US very close to the Canadian Border. Warren and Dave were low fuel and bingoed into Pease. I refueled with Air force Tanker out of Pease that was on station for another unit with a drogue- retuned to site - and then back to Weymouth to explain. Drew has more takeoffs than landings but is here to tell the story. I was also ODO went Framer taxied to a one wire at NZW. As I said to both - "the important thing is you're here and the rest is all academic now, besides those A/C are fully depreciated anyway." Bern Bradstreet. March 25, 1977: VMA-322 Capt. Bob Frame landed short of the runway in A-4E BuNo 150083 at NAS South Weymouth in snow fog. Pilot uninjured. July 31, 1983: Maj. Tom Turner (USMC Reserve) ejected after his A-4M (BuNo 154183) hit the runway 4 and burst into flames while making a refueling stop at El Paso (Texas) International Airport about noon Sunday. Turner's plane was one of at least four A-4Ms enroute from South Weymouth, MA, to Yuma, AZ. According to Turner the jet lost power moments before landing. Santa Fe New Mexican, Monday, August 1, 1983. 4th MAW, MAG-49, Det A, S Weymouth, A-4M BuNo 158183 was destroyed at El Paso when aircraft caught fire after landing gear broke off on emergency landing. 31 July 1983. Pilot ejected. Naval Safety Center via Jim Winchester. November 25, 1986: Capt. Scott Moore, 31, and GySgt. Ron Daignault, 30, ejected safely from their TA-4 (BuNo 155079) after it exploded, burst into flames and trailed wreckage for about 2,000 feet upon landing at NAS South Weymouth Tuesday. European Stars and Stripes, Thursday, November 27, 1986. 4th MAW, MAG-49, Det A, S Weymouth, TA-4J BuNo 155079 was destroyed at South Weymouth when aircraft lost power and struck runway during low approach. 25 November 1986. Aircrew successfully ejected. Naval Safety Center via Jim Winchester. VMA-322 absorbed VMA-217, also based at South Weymouth. July 14, 1991: Maj. John Rufo (USMCR) ejected safely when his TA-4 Skyhawk (BuNo 154622) plunged into Cape Cod Bay four to five miles off the mouth of the Cape Cod canal Sunday. The pilot was picked up by the fishing vessel Tigger Two. The Intelligencer Record Monday, July 15, 1991. 4th MAW, MAG-49, Det. A, S.
