Thought I would share this... On this day in 1944, Major Greg "Pappy" Boyington, led VMF-214 in an attack against the Japanese naval base at Rabaul on the island of New Britain. Boyington shot down four enemy airplanes but was then shot down himself. Wounded and with his Corsair burning, Boyington parachuted to the ocean at only 100 feet. He was rescued by a Japanese submarine and eventually spent 20 months as a POW in Japan. Believed to have been killed, Major Boyington was “posthumously” awarded the Medal of Honor by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Upon Boyington's return to the US, President Truman presented him the medal in 1945. #OTDIH #fanboysmarketplace #fortworth #baabaablacksheep #pappyboyington #usmc #vmf214 (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/fanboysmarketplace/p/CYSksz7LsMi/?utm_medium=tumblr
