Description
In August 1943, a group of twenty-seven young men under the leadership of Major Gregory "Pappy " Boyington (who was later awarded the Medal of Honor) were joined together to form the original "Blacksheep". They chose for their badge the black shield of illegitimacy, the bar sinister, a black sheep superimposed, surrounded by a circle of twelve stars, and crowned with the image of their aircraft, the F4U Corsair.

Superb pov here and interesting info. CC
Yes, I used to be a regular fan of the TV series about the Black Sheep. It is one case of where the reality is far more interesting than the fictional squadron. They were quite the bunch.
