From August 1943 until January 1944, the famed U.S. Marine Corp fighter squadron known to many as VMF-214 “Black Sheep Squadron” blazed a trail of aerial combat successes in the skies of the South Pacific islands. Over islands like Bougainville and Rabaul, the “Black Sheep Squadron” performed fighter weeps, ground attack, and bomber escort missions to help dislodge the IJN and IJA from their island strongholds. VMF-214’s colorful and charismatic leader Major Gregory “Pappy” Boyington was said to have stolen his command and outfitted it with the U.S Marines Corp's best of the worst behaved pilots and ground crews. They were labeled “outcasts” and “misfits” by the USMC’s rank and file. This combination of “Black Sheep” produced one of the most lethal combat groups to see action in the South Pacific and one of the best combat records as well. This SNAPSHOT will reenact one such common aerial engagement between VMF-214 and elements of the IJN and IJA over the island of Rabaul.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
