The two aces both end up on the same deserted island after blowing each other out of the air. One of the most memorable scenes from the series with some funny dialogue.

Masajiro Kawato was 19 when he shot down Boyington near York Island near Rabaul. He had shot down 17 Americans at the end of his career. He crashed into the sea while trying to dive into a destroyer later and was afraid of the US sailors capturing him so he tried to shoot himself, but the gun misfired the first time, then shot himself in the head with the 2nd try and knocked himself out. He drifted for 4 days mostly unconcious and ended up on a small island. He was found later buy then Navy and sent to an Aussie hospital where it took a long time get better. He reunited with family but had been officially declared dead by the Japanese government. He flew after the war as a test pilot and airline pilot. He flew solo a Piper Comanche from Tokyo to Cresent City, CA in 35 hours one large tank of gas in 1976 to honor pilots from both sides of the war and the US Bicentennial. He moved to the US and was the only Japanese ace to do so. He became friends with Boyington. He wrote his autobiogrphy "Bye Bye Black Sheep". He passed away in December 2001 at 76 up in Washington State.

I read Kawato’s book as well. There are those who say that Kawato fabricated his accounts of his book Bye Bye Black Sheep that he really didn’t shoot down Boyington. However, Boyington stated “well somebody did.” Veteran accounts and also military records can be inaccurate as to what actually happened during a battle. During air battles Od WW2, double counting was common. To give an example, an American news reel released to American theaters stated that 50 Japanese aircraft were shot down during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Actually 26 Japanese aircraft were shot down and 3 more due to carrier accidents.

@jstrahan2 9 ай бұрын

He did not shoot down Boyington. As another writer said about Kawato: "His courage in combat is not in question, but in so far as the battle of January 3, 1944 is concerned, his claim for credit is groundless and without a basis in fact." "He evidently was a natural-born fabricator."

Again, records and veteran accounts are often inaccurate. One thing for sure is that both Kawato and Boyington were in the air on 3Jan 44 in and around the area of Rabaul.

I don't know if this exchange actually took place but I like to think it did . Just because someone is your "enemy" does not mean they are not human or do not warrant civility when the bullets are done flying .

@@petesibley-km9gg Not true. Early in the war it might have been more true, especially at Pearl harbor, but this is from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum: 'Accounts of fighter operations during the Pacific war vary on how often Zeros carried radios. All the Zeros flying during the Midway operation in June 1942 had them, but whether a Zero had a radio or not varied depending on the operational needs of a particular mission.' Of course that doesn't mean that an exchange like this actually happened, but Many zeroes and other planes did, in fact, have radios.

All of the Corsairs, Robert Conrad, and Pappy, were at the Fresno, Ca airport at an air show, to promote the show before it went on the air. It was very impressive to a 14 year old at the time. On a side note, Fresno used to be the home of a B-17D, with the orginal skinny tail section. And the ANG was still flying the F106. The late 70s was a cool time to be in Fresno.

The crew of the German cruiser Admiral Hipper congratulated survivors of HMS Glowworm on a good fight even as the Germans pulled the British survivors from the water after Glowworm sunk...and Glowworm's captain for a posthumous Victoria Cross largely on the recommendation of Hipper's CO. It was more likely to happen in Europe, but such respect WAS occasionally paid. Another time was the Germans granted the Honours of War to the defeated French after the Siege of Lille in 1940.

I loved this show as a kid. When the show was still running, in 1977, my parents took the family out to California for a model-airplane contest (the SAM Champs, for anyone who knows what that is). We went to Universal Studios and heard the news of Elvis's death while waiting in line. We saw the new Jaws shark display too! This was during a long serious drought in the LA area. My family always had an ongoing joke that where ever we were, it would rain. We were camped in a KOA or something similar in a fold-up camper and it began raining like cats & dogs! Yep, we ended the California drought. Down the road was the airstrip for the Corsairs of the Baa Baa Black Sheep TV show. I remember as a kid, looking through a fence down the line of all those beautiful Corsairs that were flown in the show. Many different models of Corsairs that were not historically correct, but who cares?! Oh I wish I could go back in time sometimes...

I read Boyington's book. Great read. Had to bail out at low altitude. Said he stood up in the cockpit and kicked the stick forward with his foot while jumping out. Rudder caught him on the head but the parachute opened. Spent rest of war in Japan as a POW. Became good friends with another POW Dick O'Kane, captain of the Tang. I read his book too. O'Kane made one of the gutsiest moves in submarine warfare. With a destroyer gunning for him in shallow water, he kept his periscope up after diving to make the destroyer come straight at him. Then he put 2 fish down his throat! That book would be a great movie, although some would say it was already made sort of in Run Silent, Run Deep.

Reminds me of the plot from the Frank Sinatra WWII flick, 'None But The Brave', also involving Marines making a temporary truce with a small and a poorly armed Japanese force on a South Pacific island.

Got to meet Rob Conrad in the USN. He told me this was his favorite role (not WWWest). He and Red West (former Marine - who knew and served w/Gunny Lee Ermey) became very good friends.

Perhaps this was his favorite role, but who could fit a pair of slacks like Jim West? Just observations from an older woman...

The Japanese pilot that shot down Boyington was never on an island with him after the battle, but the read "Bye Bye Blacksheep" by Kawato, was a very good read.

My dad and I use to watch this show together for the dog fight scenes. Instead of calling my dad father or the like I called him “Pappy” in honor of Greg “Pappy” Boyington….he considered that an honor.
