Black Sheep Squadron (1976–1978)
10/10
A great TV series about a famous marine aviator
20 July 2016
I loved this series. When I was in the Marines I was fortunate to be stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay with Marine Air Group 13 (MAG 13). The the three flying squadrons included, you guessed it, VMA 214, The Black Sheep Squadron. They were obviously not the original pilots but they carried on the tradition. At the present I am reading "Baa Baa Black Sheep" written by Black Sheep One himself, Gregory "Pappy" Boyington. He pulls no punches. In the book he details all his personal problems, his being shot down and captured by the Japanese, and his time spent in a Japanese camp. He also goes into details about his time with the American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers). A great book written by a famous marine.
