Marine Fighting Squadron 422 (VMF-422) was a Vought F4U Corsair squadron in the United States Marine Corps. The squadron, also known as the "Flying Buccaneers", fought in World War II but is perhaps best known for its role in the worst accident in naval aviation history when 22 of the squadron's 23 aircraft were lost flying through a typhoon on January 25, 1944. After being reconstituted, the squadron participated in the Battle of Okinawa. VMF-422 was decommissioned on April 7, 1947. Since that date, no other Marine Corps squadron has carried the lineage and honors of VMF-422.
