US NAVY HEAVY ATTACK COMPOSITE
SQUADRONS VC-5, 6, 7, 8, AND 9
THE BEGINNING
This is a website to gather and publish information about the US Navy's first aircraft carrier based nuclear bomb
carrying aircraft, and the personnel who flew, maintained and supported them. The period is from 1948 to 1956 - the dawning of the nuclear age and the Cold War, when atomic bombs and the threat of a nuclear war terrified citizens around the globe. One aspect of the "balance of power" was the US Navy's ability to launch atom bombers from aircraft carriers close to the enemy's shores.
