Talk:Carrier air wing

message: As I am not an expert, I hesitate to do any edits here, that being said I am wondering if the Composition section should be expanded to include a Composition History sub-section which gives a decade by decade description of a typical carrier air wing would have looked like during that time in history.  For I understand at one point F-14s, F/A-18s, A-7s, A-6s, and SH-3s all shared deck space aboard a US Carrier, but a F-14 didn't share deckspace with an A-5 Vigilante. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: RE. Tomcat and Vigi; Yes they did. Example is Carrier Air Wing EIGHT having RVAH-6 aboard her when she hosted VF-41 and VF-84's first cruise with F-14's from USS Nimitz (also first deployment of Tomcats aboard Nimitz) between September 1977 to July 20 1978. 101.174.62.94 (talk) 14:23, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

text: While it would be useful, some eras of the USN's Carrier Air Groups/Air Wings were quite complicated, especially the 1940s and 50s, when so many different types performing the same roles were in service. One way might be to pick one or two air wings that have existed since the 30s (perhaps under different group/wing numbers), and give snapshots of their aircraft by decade. That might be a good start for the research, anyway. - BilCat (talk) 05:58, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

message: This might be the wrong place for this, but is there any information on the structure of Escort Carrier air groups? For example I know on British escort carriers there was typically only one composite squadron flying multiple aircraft types, whereas on US escort carriers there were often separate squadrons (although they could fly the same aircraft types) - eg. USMC Corsair squadrons supporting amphibious operations. 80.111.44.102 (talk) 11:07, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Escort Carrier Air Groups

message: The actual abbreviation for "Carrier Air Group" was "CVG", not "CAG". When Carrier Air Groups (CVG)s became Carrier Air Wings (CVW)s the Carrier Air Wing was not abbreviated "CAW", it was abbreviated "CVW" (replacing the "G" for "group" in the designation CVG with "W" for "wing" in the new designation CVW). The abbreviation "CAG" was and still is informally used as the title of the then CVG (now CVW) commander.  See "List of United States Navy Aircraft Wings" article for a full list of "CVG"s which have existed throughout the history of U.S. Naval AviationNavalaviator84 (talk) 00:01, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
