Trivia:
The real Greg 'Pappy' Boyington appeared in the second half of the two-part episode "The Deadliest Enemy of All" in the cameo role of Gen. Harrison Kenlay. He also appeared at the end of the first season's final episode "The Fastest Gun" as an officer who pins a medal on Boyington in newsreel footage. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: In several of the dogfight scenes, when there is a brief in-cockpit view of the pilot's hands dramatically pushing or pulling at the control stick, none of the (clearly visible) instruments ever move to indicate a climb, dive, or turn. moreQuotes:
Capt. James Gutterman: [talking back to a Navy officer] I'm already carrier qualified Mommy! moreFAQ

The tales of Boyington's Black Sheep may not have been the most historically accurate, best written, or even best acted WW II series on television.
What it WAS, however, was an entertaining hour in front of the tube, with a likable cast & easy to like/care about characters.
The Bellisaro hand in the casting in easy to see, with a number of familiar faces that returned to become regulars or recurring characters on Magnum P.I.
In short, a usually enjoyable show that never failed to deliver exactly what you expected from it.
