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. "Certainly the best of the personal stories of a fighter to come out of World War II ... honest, exciting and humorous" (Los Angeles Herald Express).
