Born on this day in 1912:
Lt. Colonel Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, Marine and WWII Flying Ace in the Pacific front.
from "'Pappy' Boyington" in It Really Happenedi #8 (Pines, April 1947), creators uncredited and unknown
Pretty much
every other panel in that 3-page story is filled with racist slurs (including the bottom of the
first panel), so why not instead watch Robert Conrad as Pappy in the 1976-78 NBC-T series
Baa Baa Black Sheep (aka
Black Sheep Squadron). Gotta be better than the comic.
Pappy birthday, Happy! Oh, you know what I mean.
