[edit]

This was on my talk page, but I have only reverted vandalism here, so offer it to people more knowledgeable...

More info predating 1943.
Hi Scott,
Great page on VP-4. Would you mind updating your page to include the inception of the squad in 1928. Here's a link to pull info from http://www.vp4.navy.mil/history/history_of_the_skinny_dragons.htm
Hopefully it's a good source.

The source appears to be the squadron's home page and so is WP:PRIMARY. While some US military pages make extensive use of such home pages, they tend to be full of detail that doesn't meet WP standards and should be used with care in accordance with policy. regards Mztourist (talk) 03:25, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It might be a good clue about what to look for in other sources. I have other areas I am interested in, so do not intend to contribute to this article, but needed to forward the conversation that had come to me as the last editor, even though I had only reverted vandalism. --Scott Davis Talk 10:21, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
