Behind the legend of the 'bad boy' squadron is the true story of the people, places, and events that made the outfit what it was.

A sensitive revision of a controversial legend, this book stands out as one of the best extant squadron histories and as a significant contribution to the literature of air power.
-Publishers Weekly

Breathes new facts and new life into the Black Sheep, with not only a comprehensive account of the Marines' most famous squadron, but a detailed evaluation of a legendary subject.
