    Storyline

    Edit
    Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington is the squadron leader of a group of fighter pilots stationed on an island in the Pacific during World War II. "Pappy" often needs to intercede in altercations at the base, but everyone seems to pull together when they are assigned missions in the air. —Tad Dibbern <DIBBERN_D@a1.mscf.upenn.edu>

    • Trivia
      There is a famous photo of every member of the Black Sheep Squadron posing on the wings of one of their planes wearing St. Louis Cardinals baseball caps. The Cardinals donated one cap for every Japanese plane the squadron shot down. They ended up donating so many caps, that everybody in the entire squadron, including the ground personnel, got one.
    • Goofs
      Whenever a Zero was shot down by a Corsair, it would bellow white smoke and begin to trail away. In reality, because the Zero did not have self sealing fuel tanks, in would in almost every circumstance burst into flames or explode when shot down.

    My All Time Favorite TV Show
    I loved the "Corsairs" as long as I can remember. I was so disappointed when the Black Sheep series ended I never watched network television again. Pro football was the only network programming I would watch. Then cable came and most recently The History Channel has aired the Black Sheep. I taped as many as I could. Then came my computer and I still haven't watched a network program for over 20 some odd years. I know NBC don't miss me. I don't miss NBC either. God Bless Pappy Boyington. May you rest in peace.

    FAQ1

    • Just curious why Robert Ginty and John Larroquette (and Jim, the XO) aren't in season 2. The first season was magic and then it just sorta died when the cast changed and became one of those 70s shows with all the old familiar actors/actresses. Keep googling but nowhere explains why these actors didn't come back.
