Navy Connie squadrons (unique)

I've got several questions on some squadrons and/or units of the Navy that operated 121's, R7V's, Connie's. The first is a squadron know as MATRON-2, I have seen a picture of a R7V-1 (131659) with "MATRON-2" painted on the fuselage, tail code RW, the photo was taken in 1956. I would like to try and find out what was the Navy's V designator for a MATRON, i.e would it have been VM-2, also what was its mission, purpose, etc, etc. Any history on that and any other MATRON's (if there were any others)? The second is know as AIR BARRIER SQUADRON-2, and as in the above question what was the V designator for that type of squadron, V__2. A picture shows a Air Barrier squadron 2, EC-121K , landing at Barbers Point in 1965, tail code SH. What was that squadrons mission, purpose, etc, etc. Any history on those would be great to? The reason I ask these questions is that all material I have found only writes about the VR's, VW's, VQ's, and some "one of's" like VP-31, VT-86, and VAQ-33, that have flown connie's, 121's, R7V's. I have only found "very" brief information on the above questioned squadrons. Thanks for any help. Jim MATRON 2 WAS A MAINTANENCE AND TRAINING SQUADRON AT BARBERS POINT T.H. |
