Swashbucklers and Black Sheep: A Pictorial History of Marine Fighting Squadron 214 in World War II

“A stunning portrait of incredibly courageous men and their awesome flying machines.”
—Alex Kershaw, author of The Few

Marine Fighting Squadron (VMF) 214 is the world’s most famous fighter squadron. Its second wartime squadron commander was the legendary Greg “Pappy” Boyington. Boyington and the squadron were the loose inspiration for the late-seventies NBC television series Baa Baa Black Sheep, which was later syndicated under the name Black Sheep Squadron.
