He was a black sheep from the beginning: a daredevil youngster reared in the boisterous riverfront lumber atmoshpere; a pugnacious fighter pilot with little regard for regulations; a struggling alcoholic with several crosses to bear. He was Pappy Boyington, the skipper of the famed Black Sheep squadron. Gamble gives us the first biography to completely cover Boyington's parodoxical life. Includes bibliographical references (p. 435-438), discographies (p. 438-440) and index.
