Baa Baa Black Sheep is the story (highly fictionalized of course) of World War II's Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, the misfit, conniving Marine Corp hero who took a bunch of drunken miscreants and turned them into flying aces.
These are undoubtedly the best episodes of the series run; when the show returned as Black Sheep Squadron it was Charlie's Angel-ized with the addition of Pappy's Lambs, a gaggle of nubile nurses.

This is the story of their most famous pilot, Pappy Boyington, beginning with his stint with the Flying Tigers in China and ending with his capture by the Japanese in the latter stages of World War II.

The University of Washington's student senate rejected a memorial for alumnus Gregory "Pappy" Boyington of "Black Sheep Squadron" fame amid concerns a military hero who shot down enemy planes was not the right kind of person to represent the school.
Student senator Jill Edwards, according to minutes of the student government's meeting last week, said she "didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce."
Boyington wrote a book in 1958 that reached the best-seller list, "Baa Baa, Black Sheep." In 1976, he sold rights to Universal, which aired a TV series for two seasons of the same name.
