Yes, I enjoyed this show greatly as well, The corsair I thought was one of the best US fighters of the era as well. Please be reminded those who are hating, hate is what Hitler used to start the war. Hitler started it Hitler lost it not, German tech was way ahead. The Germans started making the bomb before us. They had jets before us. And so one. What we had his vast production power and a desire to not be put down. Hate fear cause war.
Imagine a German V-3 burst over New York? What the hell? Keep imagining jackass; I prefer the actual photos and movies of bombs raining down on Hannover!Your superior German aircraft had there chance 70 years ago and you lost. Did you get that? YOU FUCKING LOST. I'll take my chances in a Mustang or Spitfire any day.
It's a good thing we clobbered Japan in WWII. Can you imagine if we had lost to them? If we had lost to them, America would be overrun with Japanese-made televisions, radios, cameras, VCRs, DVD players, cars, we would even have Japanese players in MLB.
The american P-51s had cried about an ME-163 hunting them! If we had enought of the Düsenjäger they had cleaned the air above of germany, the english comet and the amerikan thunderjet were alway sitting ducks against the ME 262
On 10 September 1952, a MiG-15 made the mistake of getting into a turning contest with a Corsair piloted by Captain Jesse G. Folmar, with Folmar shooting the MiG down with his four 20 millimetre (0.79 in) cannons.[55] The MiG's wingmen quickly had their revenge, shooting down Folmar, though he bailed out and was swiftly rescued with little injury.
it wasn't a bad show made a few good stories but the real pilots ofVMF-214 didn't really care for it cause it made them look like the bums and misfits they weren't they were just pilots waiting to get assigned to a regular squadron.One of the sheep went on in Korea to become an ace in his 2nd war and in case ur wondering he flew as an exchange pilot with the USAF. o yeah he got 6 migs
this show killed when it was on...me and my pops front and centerof the TV when this was on.. i member that one Jap ace would say "Hey Boyington' that guy was great...lol my fave episode was when those two BADASS P38 Lightnings helped splash some ZEROS in the sea
Great show even if it was mostly made-up Hollywood stuff. The one with that Japanese ace was one of my favorites when I was a kid. Had to look it up, that episode was "The Devil in the Slot," and that (fictional) ace was Tomio "Tommy" Harachi, who appeared in a few episodes of the show!
I loved this show when it aired years ago. Love Robert Conrad. One of my favorite actors. Adored him in the Wild Wild West. Rarely missed an episode. Rarely!!
He has always been such a cool guy. So good looking as well.
oh annd just for the record i couldnt care less about the japanese in fact i think we ought to bomb them now, in 2010, but not indiscriminantly, not civilians,
we should nuke them for being pain in the ass whalers and being general douchebags about the whole thing
The Corsair did carry rockets, as well as napalm and conventional bombs. They did lots of close air support along with flaming zekes, oscars, vals, bettys, pretty much anything with red balls painted on the wings and waist.
Never thought the F-4U was pretty. Always thought it looked like rather ungainly. But it was a one heck of an F/A. I always wonder why it did not get more use in Europe. Big heavy plane like that would have made for a great rocket firing ground attack plane. Perhaps the gull wings prevented that.
Never realized John Larroquette played one of the members of the squadron. Not the best casting as there would be no way someone of his height could have even fit in the cockpit of a WW2 fighter.
@Mrblancnoir The Brits made limited use of it in the Atlantic. Saw lots of service in Korea (Ed MacMahon was a Marine who was instructor in WW II, and flew it in combat in Korea).
@Mrblancnoir You're right, JL wouldn't fit. Corsairs were designed as Carrier based fighters though. I don't think you'd get a Carrier across Europe very easily!
Of course the Corsair ended up being used largely from land bases, but there weren't enough being built to spare extras to the European theater.
Ειναι η μια και μοναδικη σειρα,στην ιστορια της Αμερικανικης Τηλεορασης,που εχει θεμα αερομαχιες του Δευτερου Παγκοσμιου Πολεμου,στο μετωπο του Ειρηνικου Ωκεανου.Ειναι δυσκολο να ξαναγινει κατι αναλογο,στην Αμερικανικη Τηλεοραση...
Rob would have been a awsome Capt.America actor. I don't what the specs where as far as height? He was like 5'9''. I the the cap is supposed to be 6' + , but man, he had it in him. Would have been great, I think.............
Yep i grew up with this mom would get so mad because id sneek into the living room and whatch it, thats the show that made me whant to be in the military, later after being a nco i can understand the mechanic damn colledge boys!!! lol!!! nothing wrong with that!!
@xxchinookxx Yes, the first gen. Corsairs did use a shotgun shell starting divise. But soon after they were all converted to electric starters and stayed like that till the end of the production of this amazing fighting machine.
My 2nd favorite show of all time next to the original Twilight Zone. Remember when that really good Japanese ace, I think Harachi was his name, would fly over VMF-214 and taunt Boyington to come up and fight? And after that one episode where they both lost their planes they shared rice wine on the beach? Awesome!
I admire your loyalty to all your teams, but (ouch!) you couldn't capitalize Washington? And for the record, one Catholic to another, go Bishop Blanchet H.S.
i'm not in laos..... that said, i'm sure i'll not move to the usa were there are such high levels of racism, poverty, injustice, aids, lack of self-respect, gun- toting kids, junkies, and obesity.....
I'm not sure what part of the world you're from, but the US has far LESS racism, sexism, etc than most other countries. At least here, women aren't treated like second class citizens. Look at the racial tension in most Asian countries today. The Chinese are still in a Caste system, the North Koreans hate the South Koreans and the Muslim world is no better. Look at the rest of the world, then look at us. Clearly you're prejiduce. Perhaps YOU don't like our black president.
This was my Favorite show when I was a Kid, Wow what memories. Pappy Boyington, Remember the Durracell Comercial where he said go ahead nock it off I dear ya! Sweeet!
Revisionist Japs...only they could believe the US were the aggressors in WW2. We'll end up fighting them again eventually. Should have ground their soil with salt like the Romans did to Carthage.
This was great show that dumber as it went along. The problem was that it tried to emulate "Charlie's Angels" by bringing in beautiful nurses, none of whom could act. When they did that, it really brought the show down.
A show like this will never be produced in Hollywood again because it portrayed the Americans as the good guys and the Japanese as the bad guys. Now one mans terrorist is just another mans freedom fighter according to the wankers in Hollywood.
@Crimble67 well gimmie a break we conducted the most successful genocide in the 20th century on the japanese.. whattya expect.
look at the numbers we wiped out 50-90% of ALL their cities population McNamara even owns up to this and he himself calls what they were doing a war crime
@bokxybabee You are a product of public schools I presume? McNamara had NOTHING to do with WW II, We did NOT conduct genocide (progressive propaganda) against the Japanese, however the Japanese DID murder well over 20 million Chinese and others during the course of the war, and WE did NOT 'wipe out' 50-90% of ALL their cities populations. You know NOTHING about WW II, go back to smoking your dope and sucking your thumb FOOL!
@Crimble67 no, you're an idiot, Mcnamara admits it in Fog of war, besides, the proof was in the pudding of the destroyed cities of japan, and im not saying the japs were any better, just that you are too stupid and blind to see the truth when its smacking you in the face
its fucking idiots like you that are always the problem
@bokxybabee If your age is correct it would partially explain your warped perspective. Let me ask you a question, Was the U.S. bombing campaign against Germany a war of genocide? Hundreds of thousands of German civilians were killed by the U.S. eighth Air Force and dozens of cities were bombed into the stone age. Cologne and Dresden were virtually wiped off the map. Was that a campaign of genocide?
@Crimble67 the term is not technically correct, but yes, it was basically the same thing that we did to the germans. the worst war crimes yet committed in history. no matter what you do or say nothing will ever justify the countless babies burned to death by the United States bombers.
even many of the air crews knew it was wrong, do some reading up, The Mighty Eighth goes into it some, but of course text references are in the hundreds
@bokxybabee Why is the term 'not technically correct' my commie friend?
The Japanese killed 20 MILLION Chinese, Korean and Filipinos alone. That doesn't even include combatants from America, England, Australia, etc. You aren't talking to some fluoride drinking sheeple here. I can spot a commie a mile away. In the face of facts you will always twist the truth into an attack on America when anyone with a computer can see the death statistics from WW II and see that the Japs killed many more.
i said already, puppet, that what the japanese did to whoever is not the point in a thread about the Black Sheep. this is about american bombers.
like McNamara said, destroying every city and killing 50-90% of the cities populations WAS NOT PROPORTIONATE response to their attacking our military base in Pearl Harbor.
@bokxybabee I don't OBEY imaginary internet rules about a particular "thread" pertaining to the Black Sheep (who were all American heroes). The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was the opening salvo of all out warfare, a fight to the death and Yamamoto knew it! The Japanese did indeed awaken "the sleeping giant". If the Japanese had had the technical and industrial capabilities to bomb U.S. cities they would have. But they didn't. America did! You mess with the bull, you get the horns!
jpn just wanted all the western influence out of asia, can you blame them? was there ever a more shameful govt affair than Opium trade by brits? that was a much worse affair than war even. flouride doesnt come close to that kind of drug indoctrinatn
if china wants revenge on jpn, its their affair not ours.
call me a commie, i just LOL, you cant stand substantive debate so you name call, failure
Nothing you can say will ever justify the countless babies burned to death by US bombers.
@Crimble67 they probably said the same thing about the chinese. that's pretty shitty attitude towards others. it was not 'all out warfare'. destroying every city and killing 50-90% of the cities populations WAS NOT PROPORTIONATE response to their attacking our military base in Pearl Harbor. i guess we've said our respective pieces at this point.
@bokxybabee You don't use proportionate force to win a war, you use overwhelming force. That's why we are stuck 9 years in Afghanistan. As for the bombing offensive, blame the Japanese. They were the ones who refused to surrender even when their cause was obviously hopeless. They reaped what they sowed.
@sre2464 afghanistan? thats a complete apple to an orange. the reasons we were there were not even military.
and saying 'they reaped what they sowed'? thats ridiculous
thats like saying if you punch me in the face, that i have the right to literally rape your mother and burn your children to death. it doesnt work that way. and if you go ahead and do it, youre committing genocide, no matter what
even if they were "justified" in doing it wich they arent
@bokxybabee You miss my point regarding Afghanistan. Overwhelming force needs to be used in war to achieve victory.
As for being ridiculous, frankly it's you I find in that regard. Considering the level of technology available, there was no way civilians weren't going to get caught. The Japanse with there failure to accept defeat, brought upon themselves their own destruction. I suggest you review the meaning of genocide before you start throwing that word around.
Loved this show as a kid. i was 7 when it was on and I fel lin love with flying and airplanes because of it and it inspired me to actually become a pilot. Seems cheesy now and badly filmed but still a great memory !
Hi Slaughter 70, I am from Singapore and I would like to thank you for the video. I like the song and the video to the bbbs tv series. It used to be one of my favourite tv series when I was young.
Boyington's books is a great read and I am going to purchase a copy for myself quite soon. In my opinion, still a shame that the memorial of him was shot down...... Leastways: I thought it was too bad Hutch was killed. For some reason, I always liked his character of all of them the most :-)
I loved this show when it was on, and always looked for re-runs. Favorite episodes include Up For Grabs and Last One For Hutch! Always had an interest in WWII, and even though I knew this show was not "accurate", I never missed it! I wish they would put season 2 on DVD!

@maiktheboener
You're dreaming.
The job of a fighter is to take down bombers or defend them.
The 163 was dangerous and several blew up on the ground.
They were too fast to attack the B-17's and they had a poor kill-to-loss ratio.
The 262 was better but it was by no means invincible.
Too little,too late at any rate.
The Thunderjet did not even fly till after you had surrendered(1946).
Move on.

Of course mostly japanese were killed in the show. What, are you some kind of commie?
During the war the kill ratio was something like 12-1, however 80% of the kills were by pilots flying the rugged F6F Hellcat.

My 2nd favorite show of all time next to the original Twilight Zone. Remember when that really good Japanese ace, I think Harachi was his name, would fly over VMF-214 and taunt Boyington to come up and fight? And after that one episode where they both lost their planes they shared rice wine on the beach? Awesome!

I'm not sure what part of the world you're from, but the US has far LESS racism, sexism, etc than most other countries. At least here, women aren't treated like second class citizens. Look at the racial tension in most Asian countries today. The Chinese are still in a Caste system, the North Koreans hate the South Koreans and the Muslim world is no better. Look at the rest of the world, then look at us. Clearly you're prejiduce. Perhaps YOU don't like our black president.

This was great show that dumber as it went along. The problem was that it tried to emulate "Charlie's Angels" by bringing in beautiful nurses, none of whom could act. When they did that, it really brought the show down.

A show like this will never be produced in Hollywood again because it portrayed the Americans as the good guys and the Japanese as the bad guys. Now one mans terrorist is just another mans freedom fighter according to the wankers in Hollywood.

@bokxybabee You are a product of public schools I presume? McNamara had NOTHING to do with WW II, We did NOT conduct genocide (progressive propaganda) against the Japanese, however the Japanese DID murder well over 20 million Chinese and others during the course of the war, and WE did NOT 'wipe out' 50-90% of ALL their cities populations. You know NOTHING about WW II, go back to smoking your dope and sucking your thumb FOOL!
Crimble67 1 year ago
@Crimble67 no, you're an idiot, Mcnamara admits it in Fog of war, besides, the proof was in the pudding of the destroyed cities of japan, and im not saying the japs were any better, just that you are too stupid and blind to see the truth when its smacking you in the face
its fucking idiots like you that are always the problem
bokxybabee 1 year ago
@bokxybabee If your age is correct it would partially explain your warped perspective. Let me ask you a question, Was the U.S. bombing campaign against Germany a war of genocide? Hundreds of thousands of German civilians were killed by the U.S. eighth Air Force and dozens of cities were bombed into the stone age. Cologne and Dresden were virtually wiped off the map. Was that a campaign of genocide?
Crimble67 1 year ago
@Crimble67 the term is not technically correct, but yes, it was basically the same thing that we did to the germans. the worst war crimes yet committed in history. no matter what you do or say nothing will ever justify the countless babies burned to death by the United States bombers.
even many of the air crews knew it was wrong, do some reading up, The Mighty Eighth goes into it some, but of course text references are in the hundreds
bokxybabee 1 year ago
@bokxybabee Why is the term 'not technically correct' my commie friend?
The Japanese killed 20 MILLION Chinese, Korean and Filipinos alone. That doesn't even include combatants from America, England, Australia, etc. You aren't talking to some fluoride drinking sheeple here. I can spot a commie a mile away. In the face of facts you will always twist the truth into an attack on America when anyone with a computer can see the death statistics from WW II and see that the Japs killed many more.
Crimble67 1 year ago
@Crimble67 lol
K.
i said already, puppet, that what the japanese did to whoever is not the point in a thread about the Black Sheep. this is about american bombers.
like McNamara said, destroying every city and killing 50-90% of the cities populations WAS NOT PROPORTIONATE response to their attacking our military base in Pearl Harbor.
bokxybabee 1 year ago
@bokxybabee I don't OBEY imaginary internet rules about a particular "thread" pertaining to the Black Sheep (who were all American heroes). The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was the opening salvo of all out warfare, a fight to the death and Yamamoto knew it! The Japanese did indeed awaken "the sleeping giant". If the Japanese had had the technical and industrial capabilities to bomb U.S. cities they would have. But they didn't. America did! You mess with the bull, you get the horns!

jpn just wanted all the western influence out of asia, can you blame them? was there ever a more shameful govt affair than Opium trade by brits? that was a much worse affair than war even. flouride doesnt come close to that kind of drug indoctrinatn
if china wants revenge on jpn, its their affair not ours.

@Crimble67 they probably said the same thing about the chinese. that's pretty shitty attitude towards others. it was not 'all out warfare'. destroying every city and killing 50-90% of the cities populations WAS NOT PROPORTIONATE response to their attacking our military base in Pearl Harbor. i guess we've said our respective pieces at this point.
bokxybabee 1 year ago
@bokxybabee You don't use proportionate force to win a war, you use overwhelming force. That's why we are stuck 9 years in Afghanistan. As for the bombing offensive, blame the Japanese. They were the ones who refused to surrender even when their cause was obviously hopeless. They reaped what they sowed.
sre2464 1 year ago
@sre2464 afghanistan? thats a complete apple to an orange. the reasons we were there were not even military.
and saying 'they reaped what they sowed'? thats ridiculous
thats like saying if you punch me in the face, that i have the right to literally rape your mother and burn your children to death. it doesnt work that way. and if you go ahead and do it, youre committing genocide, no matter what
even if they were "justified" in doing it wich they arent
its still genocide
bokxybabee 1 year ago
@bokxybabee You miss my point regarding Afghanistan. Overwhelming force needs to be used in war to achieve victory.
As for being ridiculous, frankly it's you I find in that regard. Considering the level of technology available, there was no way civilians weren't going to get caught. The Japanse with there failure to accept defeat, brought upon themselves their own destruction. I suggest you review the meaning of genocide before you start throwing that word around.
