“Just name a hero and I’ll prove he’s a bum.” Col. Gregory Boyinngton
You guys need to read his book. He was quite a character. Used to sleep in the plane while flying and the sound the plane would make when it banked would wake him up. That Colonel that was portrayed in the TV show, Lard(?), when he (Boyington) got captured he told the Japanese how to bomb his headquarters. They didn’t believe him.
I believe that’s Pappy Boyington.
Indeed, it is.
You are correct.
That is in fact the “Black Sheep” leader…

Knew it when I saw it. Ba Ba black sheep. My favorite show as a yute.
I think Glenn looks exactly like him though.
His appearance on “To Tell the Truth”
“Will the real Pappy Boyington please stand up?”
