Was Patrol Bomber Squadreon VP-150 on USS Yorktown in World War 2?
No. Carrier Air Groups usually consisted of four squadrons, one of fighters, one of torpedo bombers, one of dive bombers, and another of dive bombers designated as a "scouting" squadron, which latter was used for reconnaissance flights from the carrier, and to add strength to the attack as dive bombers. VP squadrons operated aircraft which were too large for carrier operations in those days, when carriers did not have catapults, and the large patrol planes did not have folding wings. Patrol squadrons usually had PBY Catalina Flying Boats, of the Navy version of the B-24 bomber, or the Lockheed Electra, or the Hudson. These aircraft could range out many hundreds of miles from their bases and remain in the air for ten to fourteen hours. Carrier aircraft, which were necessarily of restricted size, generally could go out around 200 miles and return to their ship.
