Thanks man...
For some reason, I didnt post up a downloadable version of the VMF-214 Blacksheep Mission, so here it is...
This is my Tribute to my Grandfather...
Music is Willie Nelson by CLUTCH...
Friday Morning 0930
October 15th, 1943
Munda Airfield
Central Solomon Islands
Major Greg Boyingtons division of 4 aircraft is scheduled for a sweep after a B-24 raid on Kangu Hill supply depot near Kahili Airbase...
It didnt go quite as planned...
They ended up over Kahili Airfield before the bombers got there and watched the Zeros taking off....
Circling while the bombers dropped their loads, Boyington, Tucker on his wing, and My Grandfather, 1st Lt. Bill Case, Emrich on his wing, noticed a group of 12 Zekes climbing to engage the B-24's.... Enjoying a tremendous advantage, the 4 Blacksheep dropped down on the Zeros and tore them up...
Case and Emrich each got 2 a piece, with Tucker getting 1, and Boyington getting another as well as 3 probables... It was my Grandfather Bill Cases' first and only muti-kill day and his 6 and 7th victories out of 8 kills in 3 combat tours in the Pacific...
