Boyington, the commander of the famed “Black Sheep Squadron,” often found himself disrespected and overlooked by his superiors early in his career. Due to the myths surrounding Boyington and his portrayal as a drunken hooligan in the famed television series Baa Baa Black Sheep, most people are unaware of the traits that made Boyington a wildly successful military leader. It was not until he found his home

They are well known in history due to the fact of their high success in missions and that they were the first squadron to be all Black. They fought stationed in both Italy and Germany and when the war in Europe was over some of the squadron even fought in the pacific against the Japanese.

The member realized how close he was to being removed from the Air Force with nothing to show after 17 years and he realized the risk incurred by those who were trying to help. Others in the squadron realized it as well. They saw that if someone had sustained good performance, the unit and leadership would take care of them as someone would a family member.

In addition to his appearance, his name also makes him stand out, as it is completely different from everyone else's and no one has ever heard it before Yossarian himself.
