Episode list

During a Japanese attack, one of the men is killed. Because of the Japanese forces, the Black Sheep and hospital staff are relocated to another island and all of them are re-asigned, but Boyington has a plan to fix everything.

Gutterman breaks under pressure of a hostile air attack, and a mechanic sees his opportunity to takeover the planes...and the men.

When Pappy has engine trouble during the mission, a lone Japanese fighter challenges the ace pilot to a dangerous duel in the sky.

During an early morning strafing attack by Japanese Zeros Pappy manages to shoot one down. After taking the pilot prisoner they begin to discover it's hard to hate him. He has lived in the U.S. and speaks perfect English and begins to warm up to the Squadron. But what Pappy really wants to know is what the sonar device was doing in his plane and what his mission has to do with the Japanese task force which is on the move.

Squadron 214 has to re-qualify for combat duty. Conflict erupts when they discover they will be tested on what the book in Washington says and not direct combat experience against the Japanese.

The navy whisks Boyington and other squadron leaders away and tells them to pick five men for a top secret mission where five men from each will have fly until out of gas and ditch in the ocean, hoping to be picked up. Angered, Boyington comes up with an alternate plan and enlists the help of his flying meatball circus. But Boyington isn't sure what is more dangerous, flying a mission over multiple Japanese carriers, or his men butting heads with professionally dressed, by-the-book Navy men.

When French gets flamed in a hailstorm of flak, Pappy guides the pilot to safety but is injured in the process.

A padre fresh from Guadalcanal arrives to visit the Black Sheep squadron. Rather than man of courage and faith, they see a man in the middle of a crisis of faith. Meanwhile local Japanese bombers seem to be taking a lot interest in activity around the islands.

Pappy receives an entirely new kind of wound when a nurse that he's fallen for reveals that she's married.

A friend of Boyington's, who is the number 1 ace, is shot down by a Japanese pilot who is known as the Iceman and who only goes after the top pilots. Boyington is now the number one ace pilot and he is told that he has to go back to the States to go on a bond drive. The commanding officer who is going to replace him is not exactly what the squadron is used to.
