The squadron was established with the mission of being an all-weather attack unit and part of a carrier air group that was to be all-weather capable. Squadron personnel attended instrument training at the Fleet All-Weather Training Unit, Pacific. It flew the TBM-3E Avenger.

A second VA-214 was established as Fighter Squadron VF-214 on 30 March 1955, redesignated as VA-214 on 11 October 1956 and disestablished on 1 August 1958.
