Thanks to YouTube and volunteers we have some great video of yesteryear. Boyington has an interesting background: BS in Air. Science from Univ of Wash in 1934... very early for such a degree. Shame on Unif of Wash student governors for blackballing a Black Sheep's memorial. I read that his son was also a flyer, graduate of US Airforce Academy. Flying and university graduation must run in the family
-
I met Pappy at an airshow in Erie Colorado, it must have been around 1980. Shook his hand and told him I had read his book many times. He said "Good for you."
He signed my airshow pass and I still have it.

@BlakeMason2 ...it was 1976....

I loved this show when I was a kid! I think I was in 2nd grade when it aired originally!

@ReddSept There was a jersey city doctor in the 60's I went to. He had AVG reunion photos all over the walls of his office.The guy was in his 70s then and he went skiing. From what I read about Boyington was that at one point he was in debt. So he wanted to get paid for the planes he destroyed on the ground also.

He liked to wrassle .

David Yakima? you're his grand son? that's very interesting. how come I have never heard of you???

@DavidYakima Pappy was a personal hero of mine(my dad served USMC '57-'67) I was a 17yo JROTC cadet Ltc when Pappy died in '88, had to serve detention for flying the school flag at half mast without consent from Sr Army Instructor. Detention well served, cause my SAI thanked me for bypassing state law to honor a Vet.

I have to say that I am proud to be the Grandson of Greg "Pappy" Boyinton... The best fighter pilot in the history of the USMC... 28 Kills during WWII... 6 with the Flying Tigers & the rest with the 214 Black Sheep SQD... He was one hell of a man... David

"Boyington was officially credited with 3.5 Japanese aircraft destroyed in the air and on the ground, but AVG records suggest that one additional "kill" may have been due to him. (He afterward claimed six victories as a Tiger, but there is no substantiation for that figure.) " Many air to air kills are not credited due to camera failure and no eyewitnesses to back up the pilot. Why the fuck would you jump all over his grandson over a discrepency of 2 or 3 kills? Congrats, you're an asshole.
