ABOUT THE AIR GROUP:
Carrier Air Group Eleven was commissioned on Oct 10, 1942 as CVG-11. They recorded a large number of “firsts,” establishing its place as one of the US Navy’s top fighting air groups. CVG-11 was comprised of Bombing Squadron Eleven (VB-11), Torpedo Squadron Eleven (VT-11), Fighting Squadron Eleven (VF-11 "Sun Downers") and Scouting Squadron Eleven (VS-11) later re-designated as Bombing Squadron Twenty-One (VB-21). In June 1943, pilots and aircrews from CVG-11 conducted the first daylight raids off Guadalcanal Island during the fighting in the Solomon Islands and New Georgia operations during World War II. During its second combat tour (1944-45) they participated in operations over Leyte Gulf, French Indochina, Formosa Island (Taiwan), and China while flying off the deck of the USS Hornet (CV-12). For these operations, CVG-11 was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. The legacy of CVG-11 carries on today as Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11) headquartered at Naval Air Station Lemoore and attached to the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. The exhibit honoring CVG-11 during WWII is on board the USS Hornet - Sea, Air and Space Museum in Alameda, California.
