I was looking up infor on the Japanese carrier Junyo and discovered Navypedia has listings of carrier air groups by year. Not comprehensive but pretty good for starters. I have seen this question come up a few times here. Here is the page for US carriers. Have not looked at all yet. link Dave |

Anyone with a similar inquiry or interest can try: link While this particular page is specific to the Yorktowns, you can enter in the search box any class you want and the information will come up. You might have to read through the text at the bottom of each class entry to discover differences between ships of the same class in the makeup of their air groups. There is also a wealth of information on many subjects (it is after all an encyclopedia). Heck of a time sink, but pretty interesting. |

You can always look here - link With the caveat that a goodly portion of the mid to late 1942 data is a little fuzzy. Almost as though the USN was keeping loss information from itself. The mostly weekly reports are generally dated 8-10 days after the actual date of the reported data; i.e., the 5 Jan 1944 report is probably more like the situation on 28 Dec 1943. R |

Thanks. That one is fantastic with the shore installations also included. What surprised me about the link I shared was it also showed Japanese, British, even the French Bearn! Dave |
