À propos de cet audio

Here, in his own words, is the true story of America's wildest flying hero, of his extraordinary heroism, and of his greatest battle of all-the fight to survive.

The World War II air war in the Pacific needed tough men like Colonel Pappy Boyington and his Black Sheep Squadron. The legendary Marine Corps officer and his bunch of misfits, outcasts, and daredevils gave a new definition to "hell-raising" - on the ground and in the skies.

Pappy himself was a living legend-he personally shot down 28 Japanese planes, and won the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross. He broke every rule in the book doing so, but when he fell into the hands of the vengeful Japanese his real ordeal began.

I recall the tv series of the black sheep squadron where I fell in love with the Corsair airplane .
Funny to realize how much of the show was based in reality albeit toned down for tv.this book is so interesting to hear of Pappys early career in the flying tigers and to move on to form the black sheep.
The end of the book is so great to hear he finally beat his demons and got off the booze.He is so honest in his writing of his mistakes and failures.Bravo Pappy Boyington

Fascinating story

Very insightful for Greg to see how not to hate his enemy. I enjoyed his story. And I laughed a few times at his honesty about his own stupidity.

Dumb luck or a chance of redemption?
