Marine Attack Squadron 611 (VMA-611) was an attack squadron in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. The squadron was originally commissioned as a medium bomber squadron flying PBJ-1C/Ds during World War II. VMB-611 was the only Marine bomber squadron to operate in the Philippines during the war and was quickly decommissioned following the surrender of Japan.[2] The squadron was reactivated as an attack squadron in the Reserves in 1958 at Naval Air Station Glenview, Illinois. It was later relocated to Naval Air Station Los Alamitos, California in 1968, and finally decommissioned in 1969.
