		The squadron experienced a lot of turnover at the top, as Henry Ellis, Bill Pace, and Smiley Burnett all served briefly as CO. When the squadron returned to duty at Turtle Bay in mid-June, their first order of business was to get up to speed in Corsairs - fast.
		Since the Black Sheep had left, the Americans had captured a perimeter on the western side of Bougainville, at Empress Augusta Bay.
		A few days later, the 'Black Sheep' flew their last combat mission, and, as with the 'Swashbucklers', they were broken up, and a new team was designated VMF-214.

	Gregory "Pappy" Boyington - Black Sheep Squadron C.O. USMC WWII
		Stories of Pappy Boyington are legion, many founded in fact, including how he led the legendary Black Sheep squadron, and how he served in China as a member of the American Volunteer Group, the famed Flying Tigers.
		In the past 15 years, at least two books have been written, "to set the Black Sheep Squadron's record straight." I'm no judge, but it seems to me that there are books of fiction and books of non-fiction, but that most "fighter pilot memoirs" tend to blur that distinction.
		And Baa Baa Black Sheep is an enjoyable example of that gray area.

		The "Black Sheep," though well known at the time, have received only scant mention in military history (there was a highly fictional TV series in the 1970s).

		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.
