[4] VMF-334’s first overseas deployment came in early 1957 when it was sent to Naval Air Station Atsugi for more than a year.

[2] The Falcons were re-designated Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 334 (VMFA-334) on 1 August 1967 and again transitioned airframes to the F-4J Phantom II.

The squadron arrived at Da Nang Air Base on 1 September and combat operations began almost immediately.

VMFA-334 remained in Vietnam until September 1969 when they were relocated to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan.

From there they flew air support over the US Navy intelligence ship the USS Pueblo, which had been attacked and captured by North Korea.
