1970 NAS South Weymouth VP63Z2 and VP11Z4 Rota Spain Cruisebook - VP Association Fund-Raiser

In August 1970 two Navy Reserve patrol squadrons based at NAS South Weymouth, VP63Z2 and VP11Z4 were sent off together on two-weeks annual training to Naval Station Rota, Spain. This was the last annual training cruise by reserve patrol squadrons based at NAS South Weymouth before the reorganization of the Naval Air Reserve in late 1970 and the formation of VP-92. After the two squadrons returned to NAS South Weymouth, Air Wing Staff Z1 put together a 19-page saddle-stitched softcover "cruise book" for the reservists as a souvenir of their adventures in Spain. This is an exact reprint of that rare Navy cruisebook. It is filled with photos of squadron personnel, their Lockheed SP-2H Neptune aircraft, and shows many of the things that they did both on and off duty while in Spain.
