1943 12 The Black Sheep - Nicolas Trudgian

Major Gregory “Pappy” Boyington’s Black Sheep – the Marine Corsairs of VMF-214 – taxi out for another mission from Vella Lavella, December 1943, escorting a B-24 raid on the Japanese fortress at Rabaul. Action is guaranteed and the intensity of aerial fighting here which later saw Boyington shot down and taken prisoner, was equal to anything in the war. For their part in the prolonged battle for the South West Pacific the Black Sheep became national heroes.Few fighter units in World War II gained the notoriety of Pappy Boyington’s Marine Corps VMF-214 “Black Sheep” Squadron. Equipped with the Chance Vought F4U Corsair, under Boyington’s spirited leadership, the ‘Black Sheep’ pilots were accorded one of only two Presidential Unit Citations awarded to Marine Corps squadrons during the war in the Pacific.

tag 10 people you want to get to know better! I was tagged by @bluerose5 and @bonksoundeffect -- both wonderful fellow creative people. thank you for thinking of me!

relationship status: SINGLE AND FERAL (like my name don’t you know)

favorite color: wine (a slightly purple-y maroon, in some lights) and/or warm reddish brown

favorite food: lentils if I had to choose one thing to eat on a desert island, otherwise trout

song stuck in your head: Ferrari (james hype, miggy dela rosa)

last thing you googled: movie times at the local theater.

dream trip: unsure? I’ve been a bit of a mess over the pandemic and I travel semi-regularly for various conferences. there are a few remote things I’d like to do and/or arrange with outfitters so I don’t have to do the logistics. nothing too extreme...

time: 9:43 pm

last book you read: technically graphic novels the ‘March’ trilogy - John Lewis with Andrew Aydin (currently reading ‘embrace fearlessly the burning world’ ... and like three or four others, including a biography called ‘Boyd’).

last book you enjoyed reading: the left hand of darkness - ursula k. le guin; I enjoyed reading it but in the end did not end up liking it. just got sad over the ‘ace’ relationship and felt a bit fridged as a person. yes I know that’s not the philosophical point.... just. -shrug- it is what it is. the writing was lovely and the outcome was Not For Me.

last book you hated reading: the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime (lol). apparently there was a reason it was in my ‘to read’ pile for so long. I have no idea what all the big fuss was. at least it was a speedy read and now I can move on with my life.

Bonus:

favorite thing to cook/bake: doesn’t really count since it’s cold and I just mix ingredients together but ... smoked trout dip. NOM NOM NOM. I found a recipe I like and it’s great with white wine. can’t say I bake or cook that much since my favorite food is fish and I just settle with various canned or tinned preparations because cooking for one is um. hope you like leftovers. I am pretty good at roasting things or being patient with sauces. love savory flavors.

favorite craft to do in your spare time: writing? I guess. when I was a kid I built model rockets and that kind of kit work can still be diverting. I once whipped up a scale model of a chance vought f4u corsair (with a working propeller!) made out of nothing but printer paper and wood glue. sadly it got water-damaged or I’d still have it around. I don’t make much in my spare time since my actual job has pretty tangible outcomes.

most niche dislike: pumpkin pie. my hatred is endless and nonsensical. I cannot stand the texture or the flavor. I have tried. I cannot.

opinion on circus(es) now and in history: with non-domestic animals not so much. human performers who chose the life and are well-paid? cool.

do you have a sense of direction and if not what is the worst way you ever got lost: my sense of direction is so bad that most people don’t believe how bad until they witness it for themselves. it is generally common knowledge that if I tell you to go some way you should do the exact opposite. if I go into a store I cannot tell you from which direction I have entered. even when I have lived some place for more than 10 years I can get turned around and/or in the wrong lighting get so disoriented that I miss a turn. back in the days before good GPS maps going anywhere was terrifying because I was just moving through space while driving ... I had no or very little sense of orientation. while active mapping and other experiences have helped me over time, I still ask friends and coworkers to help me orient while I’m driving. it would be funny if it were not so pathetic.

No pressure tag: @c-rowlesdraws @vampirepunks @pip-n-flinx @datsonyat @expertmakodriver @andersonsbiceps

I only apologize A LITTLE for the spam but you’re all lovely people and I am a bit harried with life so.
