Description

**Officially Licensed USMC VMFA(AW)-224 Bengals Sticker — Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron Vinyl Sticker**

The Fighting Bengals — from Wildcats over Guadalcanal to Hornets over the Pacific, VMFA(AW)-224 has been in the fight since 1942.

VMFA(AW)-224, the “Bengals,” traces its origins to May 1, 1942, when VMF-224 was commissioned. The squadron first saw combat at Guadalcanal flying F4F Wildcats and SBD Dauntlesses, earning distinction in the desperate air battles over Henderson Field. Through decades of service, the squadron transitioned through multiple airframes including the A-6 Intruder as VMA(AW)-224, becoming one of the Marine Corps’ premier all-weather attack squadrons. Redesignated as VMFA(AW)-224 upon transition to the F/A-18D Hornet, the Bengals were based at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, under MAG-31 and 2nd MAW, carrying their all-weather strike heritage into the modern era of precision-guided weapons and advanced sensors.
