They flew the F6F-5N Hellcat and although they trained for over a year they never made it into combat. The squadron was deactivated April 20, 1946, and remains inactive until today. HistoryMarine Night Fighter Squadron 544 (VMF(N)-544) was activated on May 1, 1944 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. They immediately began training for aerial combat at night and in poor weather and low visibility. The squadron moved to Marine Corps Air Station El Centro on November 3, 1944, where they continued their training for two more months. In February 1945, VMF(N)-544 again moved, this time to Marine Corps Air Station Eagle Mountain near Fort Worth, Texas. While there, they trained with the veteran night aviators from VMF(N)-531 and VMF(N)-534 who had just returned from combat in the South Pacific. VMF(N)-544 never saw combat action as the war with Japan ended before they were due to rotate. The squadron was deactivated on April 20, 1946, and has remained inactive since.
