My dad served w/ the 1st Marines VMO-5, based on Siapan. He was a Recon pilot. He ran across Pappy a few times and has some good stories. He said if you were smart you avoided that crew when they were drinking. Pappy was an American hero and had all the flaws and bravado of Americans that we have lost due to liberal PC and multiculterism. It used to be cool to be an American with an attitude. Leaders with the balls of Gen. Patton. What we have now is a march towards the limping French. Shit.

I really wished the history channel would go back to showing history shows.
-
I remember the Black Sheep from news films and radio reports during WWII. Great memories.
-
I bought his book at Oskosh in '87 & had him sign it for me. Good book.
-
my dad lied about his age to get in he was 17 yrs old, all of his friends were 18 yrs old.

I'd give anything to be flying back then. It's just to damn complicated these days!

Top stuff. Read the book 30yrs ago. A 1/32nd scale model of his aircraft has pride and place in my collection. Thanks Pappy and his boys. From an old Aussie.

Wow, really Pensacola Florida! Coincidence.

@Ispintechno1 Correct, sir! A LOT of boys lied about there age. There's alot of assumption that the military was aware that many enlistees were underage, but because they needed the personnel so badly, they looked the other way. I think alot of kids would have enlisted after 9/11, but it's alot harder to falsify birth records these days.

@jcrozboy I know! It's crazy just how young solders and pilots where in WWII. A lot of very young men signed up for military service, some even lied about their age to get in.
