Plot[edit]
Major Greg 'Pappy' Boyington is the commanding officer of VMF-214, a group of 'misfit' fighter pilots based in the Solomon Islands during World War II. Pappy often intercedes in altercations at the base, but everyone seems to pull together when they are assigned missions in the air. Pappy likes to drink and fight a lot when not flying missions. He owns a Bull Terrier named 'Meatball' — which he claims belongs to General Moore to get the dog on the base against regulations in Flying Misfits, but General Moore says he 'wouldn't own an ugly mutt like that.'
The series premise was very loosely based on a portion of the real-life military career of Gregory Boyington, known as 'Pappy' due to his 'advanced' age compared to the younger pilots under his command. (He was 30 when he took command of VMF-214, but in the series pilot, he is stated to be 35.) Boyington, who was a technical adviser for the series, commented that the show was 'fiction based on reality' and that no regular character in the series except for himself actually existed. Although in his book of the same name, there is a General 'Nuts' Moore who has similar characteristics to General Moore in the series. Also in the book is Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Smoak, on whom Colonel Lard is based. Lard has almost the same animosity for Major Boyington in the TV series as Smoak does in the book. In the documentary film Pappy Boyington Field, Robert Conrad shares personal insight about Pappy from their time together during the television series.
Pappy has the most air victories, or 'kills', of any pilot in the squadron. In the pilot episode, Boyington has six kills from his tour with the Flying Tigers. His count climbs into the mid-20s as the series progresses. The real-life Boyington had 14 kills in 32 days during his first tour of duty with VMF-214, and finished with 25 confirmed victories.
The TV show's squadron is based on the fictional island of Vella la Cava. There is an actual island called Vella Lavella in the New Georgia Group of the Solomon Islands, but in the initial episode 'Flying Misfits,' Vella la Cava was represented on an aviation sectional chart by the real Kolombangara Island. Under Boyington’s command VMF-214 flew out of Barakoma Airfield on Vella Lavella during the Solomon Islands campaign.
Popular character John 'Hutch' Hutchinson (Joey Aresco) was killed off in the episode Last One for Hutch and replaced as chief mechanic by master sergeant Andy Micklin (Red West), who had joined the squadron a few episodes earlier in Devil in the Slot.

- Second Lieutenant Jeb Pruitt (Pilot) (1978). Played by Jeb Stuart Adams.
- Master Gunnery Sergeant/Warrant Officer/Captain Andrew 'Andy' Micklin (Chief Mechanic) (1977–1978). Played by Red West. Micklin was promoted to warrant officer at the start of the episode 'The 200 Pound Gorilla,' and was made a temporary captain by Boyington while sitting in the brig for punching out a major in a bar fight, resulting in his reduction in grade/rank back to master gunnery sergeant. In the season 2 episode 'Fighting Angels,' Micklin's background as a mud marine in China was referenced, and he has been described by Boyington as being 'part commando, part Indian tracker, and 100 percent mean.'
- Sergeant John David 'Hutch' Hutchinson (Chief/Assistant Chief Mechanic) (1976–1977). Played by Joey Aresco. Hutch is killed in Season 1, Episode 21 (Last One for Hutch) by an enemy strafing run during an attack on Vella La Cava.
- Colonel Thomas A. Lard (Executive Officer, Espritos Marcos) (1976–1978). Played by Dana Elcar. Lard, modeled on one of the real Boyington's actual superiors, USMC Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Smoak, is a strictly-by-the-book staff officer.[1] A highly competent career Marine who has seen action in China, Lard is offended by Boyington's frequent disregard for regulations and policies, and the two men rarely get along personally. (The real Boyington and Smoak were bitter personal enemies, and Boyington never forgave Smoak or made any kind of peace with him.)[2] However, Lard sees a lot of promise in Boyington, though he does not admit it, and he often puts aside his opinions to further the mission.
- Brigadier General/Major General Thomas Moore (Commanding Officer, Esprito Marcos) (1976–1978). Played by Simon Oakland. Moore is impressed by Boyington's initiative in 'stealing' the 214th and then by the results obtained by the Black Sheep, so he keeps Lard in check as much as possible. Moore was promoted from brigadier general to major general in the second season episode 'The 200 Pound Gorilla.' (The actual general officer who provided the real Boyington with support where needed was named James T. Moore, and was nicknamed 'Nuts.' He and the real Boyington had been 'drinking buddies.').[3]

Critical response[edit]
The day of the show's debut, The Washington Post called Baa Baa Black Sheep a 'war-is-swell series [aimed] at anyone who remembers World War II as a rousing, blowzy, fraternity turkey-shoot.'[4]
Production notes[edit]
Although the title Baa Baa Black Sheep comes from a nursery rhyme, the song heard at the beginning of the opening credits is actually the chorus to The Whiffenpoof Song, written in 1909 as a homage to Rudyard Kipling's poem Gentlemen-Rankers. One of the squadron's real-life members, Paul 'Moon' Mullen, adapted 'The Whiffenpoof Song' for the squadron's use.
- 'We are poor little lambs,
- Who have lost our way.
- Baa, Baa, Baaaaa.'
The name of the island where the real-life Black Sheep were stationed was Vella Lavella in the Solomon Islands of the southern Pacific, known as The Slot; this was changed to Vella la Cava in the series for legal reasons.[citation needed] The same was done for the Rear Area Allied Command island of 'Espiritu Santo' (Espritos Marcos). The Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California provided an adequate substitute backdrop for flying scenes. Filming of airfield scenes was primarily done at the now-closed Indian Dunes Airport in Valencia, California.[5]
Some air-battle scenes were actually short clips from the 1969 film Battle of Britain, and German markings on the planes can clearly be seen.[original research?] Other flying scenes pioneered the technique of mounting cameras on helmets worn by pilots, thus providing a pilot's-eye view never before seen in films featuring single-seat aircraft.[citation needed] Because of reflections from the Plexiglas canopies, many close-ups were shot with the canopies removed.
The Vought F4U and FG-1 Corsair fighter planes [6] were leased to Universal Studios by private owners. Many scenes showing repairs on the aircraft were filmed during actual preventative maintenance.[citation needed] 'Japanese' aircraft used in the series were actually North American T-6 Texan World War 2 trainer planes, which had been modified to resemble Japanese planes for the film Tora! Tora! Tora! and later purchased by collectors. The Grumman J2F Duck float biplane belonged to legendary stunt pilot Frank Tallman and his Tallmantz Aviation museum in Santa Ana, California. Tallman often stated that this was his all-time favorite plane to fly, with the Corsair in a near-tie.[citation needed] Tallman provided or arranged for most of the aircraft used in the series.
At an aviation history symposium in 2002, members of the real VMF-214 were asked about the authenticity of the TV series.[7] Retired Colonel Henry A. McCartney said the list of errors was too long to repeat. Boyington himself referred to the series as '... inaccuracies, hogwash, and Hollywood hokum,'[8] although he did serve as technical advisor on the show, and had cameo appearances in two episodes. A 2001 History Channel documentary, History Undercover: The True Story of the Black Sheep Squadron, depicted some of these differences in greater detail.[9]
