Boyington of Baa Baa Blacksheep is a reference to Pappy Boyington, an American aviator who commanded the VMF-214 "Black Sheep" squadron during World War II. The squadron, which was based on the island of Vella Lavella in the Pacific theater, became famous for its exploits and innovative tactics against the Japanese.
Boyington himself was a decorated pilot who scored 28 aerial victories before being shot down and captured by the Japanese in 1944. He spent the rest of the war as a prisoner of war, but was eventually released and returned to the United States, where he became a celebrity and spokesperson for veterans' causes.
Baa Baa Black Sheep is a television series that aired from 1976 to 1978, which was loosely based on Boyington's experiences with the Black Sheep squadron. The show starred Robert Conrad as the fictionalized version of Boyington, and followed the adventures of the squadron as they fought the Japanese in the Pacific. While the show was criticized for its historical inaccuracies, it remains a popular cult classic among fans of aviation and military-themed television.
