US NAVY VICTORY SQUADRON

Recent conversation with a few aviation friends brought forth mention of the US Navy Victory Squadron. I had never heard of it, but according to friends it was a squadron of aircraft formed in 1946 to show the navy might that helped win the war in the Pacific. Squadron consisted of all the major types of USN aircraft used in the Pacific Theater and consisted of two of each type. Aircraft were painted with multiple kill markings and were displayed at several bases in the United States during the 1946-1947 time frame. Does any one out there have any more information, and more important any photos. Thanks in advance.

PS: Understand the aircraft were flown by US Navy and Marine Aces.
