Baa Baa Black Sheep (1976)
VMF-214 original nickname
8 March 2022 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
When Major Gregory Boyington took command of Squadron VMF-214, they called themselves "Boyinton's Bastards". But that name assured they would not get coverage in the theater's newsreels that were shown at theater's at that time. The name was changed to Black Sheep in order to get some press coverage.
My Dad flew an F4U in Korea and I was named Gregory at birth in honor of "Pappy"!!
