If you remember the book Flight of the Intruder, some of the events, such as the A6 returning with a wounded pilot and navigator, one of whom died, was actually a true event involving VA-115. My father ADCS Floyd "Rattlesnake" Railsback was the maintenance Chief during that time with VA-115, a period in which VA-115 completed 97% of all scheduled sorties, a remarkable accomplishment never previously or sense been equalled in an A6 squadron.
