We make a dead stick landing,

and once you chop that power
and start down, you're committed.

You're gonna land or you're gonna crash.

How do you know they'll go for it?

They're Black Sheep.

Hey, Greg!

We might be crazy, we're not stupid.

Every man in your outfit
has to speak for himself.

It's a suicide mission!

Pappy!

We got one hour.

Pappy can't fly in one hour.

We are poor little lambs

Who have lost our way

Baa! Baa! Baa!

Baa Baa Black Sheep

The Japanese third fleet encounters
Halsey in the Fraser Strait

and deals a telling loss to
the Allied strategy in the Pacific.

Heavily outnumbered, Halsey's men fight
valiantly against the enemy to no avail.

In the day-long battle, the Japanese
air force strikes again and again,

raining death from the sky.

Allied losses run high.

Two carriers disabled.

The fleet at a standstill.

Finally, Halsey orders a withdrawal
buying time for the Navy to regroup,

but leaving the enemy unchallenged
throughout the waters around Ulithi,

a key Japanese stronghold in
the naval battle for the Solomons.

Watch it, Jerry. You got
two comin' down on you.

I see 'em.

Must be fresh meat out of flight school.

Yeah, you got a two-ton pot roast

coming down at you right now, Boyle.

Nice goin'.

These guys fly like penguins.

Save it for later, Boyle.

They're breakin' off.

I let 'em go!

We can't let those
knot-heads off the hook, Jim.

We're goin' home.

If Pappy was with us...

Pappy ain't with us.

I'm in command, and I'd hate
to have to talk to you

about it on the ground, Larry.

What's wrong with that ship?

Nothing, sir.

Well, where's Boyington?

He's in the hospital.

Malaria?

I've never seen anything
in your records about malaria.

General.

It's a little bug I picked up in China.

It's nothing.
They're kickin' me out today.

The doc says I'm goldbrickin'.

What're you doin' here, sir?

I, uh, was on my way back from Toctin
and I Just thought I'd drop in.

Come on, General.

You've never dropped in on anybody.

I better get back to headquarters.

Sir, what is it?
You came by here for something, sir.

I'm feeling great, sir!

They're kickin' me out today.
I Just told you that.

Let's take a walk.

Hey, Doc Lindsay!

Hiya, Doc.

No more shots?

No shots. No shots.
No, no, no.

Listen, I want to talk to you guys.

What about?

Come on in here.
I want to talk to you.

It's about Greg.

Now, listen, this is just between us.

Well, what's the problem, Doc?

The problem is that...

Well, Greg is an old man
for a fighter pilot.

He can't go on the way he has.

With the fever and stayin' up
all night and working

and drinking and flying
every mission with you guys.

That's just the kind of guy Pappy is.

Yeah.

One of these days his next mission
could be his last mission.

There's a hot flash for you.

The old pill pusher Just laid
down some gospel.

"Our next mission could be our last."
That's a real news bulletin.

All I said...

I heard what you said, Doc.

I don't like takin' military briefings
from the Medical Corps if you don't mind.

And I don't give a damn if you
like it or not, Gutterman.

I can ground any man in this outfit.

In my opinion, Greg should not be flying.

And you guys have better
find a way to keep him on the ground

or I will give him a ticket home!

We took a heck of a beating
at Fraser Straight.

We got to keep the Japanese third fleet
bottled up at Ulithi

until Admiral Collins' taskforce
gets here to reinforce Halsey.

Now we need three or four days.

I've got a mission.

If you'll fly it,
it'll give us the time.

You got it, sir.

Now, hold on. This mission is too dangerous
for me to order anyone to fly.

It's got to be strictly voluntary.

You got it, sir.

Now, not Just you, Greg.

Every man in your outfit
has to speak for himself.

Yes, sir.

You haven't even heard what it is.

How do you know if they'll go for it?

They're Black Sheep.

With only one narrow channel
in and out of the lagoon,

if we sink even one small ship,

we figure that we can bottle up
the enemy fleet at Ulithi

long enough to give Collins carriers
time to hook up with Halsey.

But it has to be a surprise attack.
Hit and run. In and out, fast.

It's not a Job for bombers.

We'll have to use fighters.

They have to be carrying 500-pounders and
auxiliary tanks to give you the range

and time over the target.

Now that's it.

Okay, you guys.

I've already volunteered,
and I told the General

I wouldn't have any trouble gettin'
four of you heroes to come with me.

Now, come on, guys.
Let's see a show of hands.

General...

Hey, Greg!

We might be crazy!
We're not stupid!

It's a suicide mission!

I Just hate havin' Greg
think we let him down.

Hey, are we gonna worry
about what Greg thinks?

Or are we gonna make sure that sawbones
doesn't send him back to the States?

Hey, Pappy.

Pappy, it's pretty late.
Maybe you should, uh,

hit the sack and get some rest, huh?

Maybe you should mind
your own business, huh?

Yes, sir.

Where's he goin' now?

To see General Moore. Called
him first thing this morning.

What's he gonna see Moore for?

Oh, I don't know.

And you didn't listen in?

Of course not.

It's an air strip.

Well, it was an emergency
strip before the war.

But the Japanese never used it.
Too short.

There's a little hut at one end of it.
Right there.

General, I wanna lose the auxiliary tanks.

The extra weight just slows us down.

We don't have to fly non-stop to Ulithi.

Are you telling me you're gonna
try to land at the Bakati?

Sir, it's 10 miles from Bakati to the...

I know how far it is, Boyington.

But what you're not aware of is there's
an enemy radio installation there.

There might be a company
of infantry to guard it.

You'd be scooped up
the minute you touch down.

Sir, I was up all night
figuring this out.

We make a dead stick landing,
just as the sun comes up.

We'll be gone before
they even know we were there.

May I ask just who do you mean by we?

Sir, you... you may ask anything you like.

I have all the answers.

Hutch.
- Yeah?

Have them fix those radios.

Come to my tent.
I want to talk to you.

All right, Pappy.

Hey, uh, hey, Greg!

Yeah.

We want to explain to you why it wasn't...

Hey, no sweat, Jim.
I mean, forget about it.

No sweat at all, huh?

And then he had me install bomb racks

and two 500 pounders right away.

You don't think he's crazy enough
to think he can fly

this mission by himself, do you?

I know he ain't.

'Cause he told me to pull
four more birds off the line

and put rats and bombs on 'em too.

What do you think he's up to?

You don't really wanna know.

A teletype from General Moore.

"To Boyington, 214. VMF.

"Response to your request.

"Have secured other volunteers
to fly Operation Ulithi.

"Lieutenants Cooper, Hines,
Baker and Henderson,

"all USN will arrive your base
from Pearl Harbor,

18.00 hours this date."

Where's he goin' now?

Wonder why he's climbin' so high?

His engine's out!

He must've chopped it.

He's gonna make a dead-stick landin'.

Yeah. Carrying two 500 pounders

and about 800 pounds of fuel.

I knew all the guys would be watching me
and wondering what I was doing up there.

Flying a Corsair with the power off
was just a little easier

than trying to swim
in a pair of lead boots.

And the end result was about the same.

But I had to remind myself
how hard it really was.

And I didn't care if the
Black Sheep thought I lost my marbles.

In fact that was exactly
what I wanted them to think.

You know, it's too bad there's
not a way to feather the prop

when you chop the power.

Well, there ain't, Pappy.

I know it, but it's too bad, isn't it?

Did that on purpose, did you?

That's right.

Well, this came for you.

I suppose all you guys have read this.

We all think it's booby-hatch time, too.

Really?

Greg, this mission's too dangerous
as it is, to be flyin' it with strangers.

When we flew our first mission together,
you were all strangers.

Every one of you.

Yeah, well, that's different now, Pappy.

Is it?

Different now, huh?

We just gonna have to stop him.

We're gonna have to stop kiddin' ourselves.

When Boyington makes up his mind,
that's all there is to it.

Like that, don't you? Hmm?

Pappy.

Yeah?

Uh, this Just came for you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Pappy.

Hey! Hey, you guys.

The mission's been scrubbed.

Scrubbed?

A weather front came up over Suva.

All the mass flights are grounded.

The seagulls can't get here in time.

All the worryin' we did about Pappy,
for nothin'.

Well, let's hear it
for the weather at Suva!

Pappy, shouldn't you knock
that stuff off?

You Just got out of the hospital.

When I want medical advice
from you, Boyle,

I'll ask for it.

Greg, I think it's about time
we had a talk about this mission.

Talk about what, Jim?

I mean, you guys have
all made your decision.

What's there to talk about?

And when I finished this and sober up,

I wanna talk to all of you
about the future of the Black Sheep.

He really wanted that mission.

Maybe we could talk to Doc Lindsey.

What has Doc Lindsey
got to do with this now?

Should have never listened
to that man in the first place.

Then we'll have to tell him
we'll fly it with him.

That's a very good idea.
Who's goin'?

Only four can go.

We need a contest or somethin' to decide?

No.

We'll have a lottery.

All right.

Give me one of those bags
from behind the bar please.

What I got here is, uh,
three black checkers

and 12 red checkers.

Wait a minute.
Why only three black?

Because I'm the executive officer,

and I'm orderin' myself to go.

Black ones go.
The rest stay. Pick one.

What is it?

Bragg. Who else?

Okay, French.

One more.

One more.

All right.

Bragg, French, T.J.,
let's go.

What's the matter with you guys?

Ain't nothing the matter
with us, Greg.

You Just got yourself four volunteers.

You sure?

The glide ratio of a Corsair

is one-to-one with the engine off,

you fall one mile
for every mile you go forward.

That's a little better
than a rock.

And the bombs we're carrying
won't make things better.

We remember why it's called
the dead stick landing.

You do the wrong thing with a stick,

you're dead.

You keep one thing straight in your head.

Once you chop that power and start down,
you're committed.

You're either gonna land
or you're gonna crash.

We start at 25,000 feet,

5 miles from the end of the runway.

We go in at dawn at 30 second intervals.

And make sure you're outta the way

of the guy behind you.

Now, from the isle of Bakati,

you are 10 miles from the Ulithi straits.

We wait for a radio message
from General Moore,

telling us when the first ship
is gonna leave the harbor.

From that point on we have 20 minutes
to get in the air and hit the target.

We're to sink this ship at the narrow part
of the strait, then take off,

Iand on the carrier Princeton,
refuel and go home.

We'll grab our socks at 03.00.
Any questions?

No questions?

Okay, you guys. 03.00.

T.J.

You're one of the unhappiest volunteers

I've ever seen.

Well, none of us really volunteered,

uh, except for Jim.

We got a lottery.

I guess.

Ah, T.J.,

Hutch has been telling me
about a problem he's having

with the shackles on the bomb racks.

He said maybe only four of us
ought to go.

You sayin' you don't want me to go?

I didn't say that.

Look, this thing is so harebrained,
I'm frightened of it.

Now what difference is one plane
more or less gonna make?

The less that go, the better chance
we have of making it.

You think I'll blow it
for you, don't you?

T.J...

No!

Don't do this to me.
Please.

I lost that lottery fair and square.

Either I'm a part of this unit
or I'm not.

We all took our chances.

You pull me now, every one
of the Black Sheep'll know

that you don't have
any faith in me.

Pull somebody else
if you have to, but not me.

I have to have some respect
for myself as a man.

You take that away from me,
what have I got?

I'm sorry, T.J.

I'm sorry I shouldn't have
asked you not to go.

Pappy.

Why did you?

You want it straight?

Yes, I do.

I don't think you're up to it.

But I'm not gonna
undercut you from this squadron.

I've too much respect for you.

You're a good man, T.J.

I won't let you down, Pappy.

I know you won't.

04.00.

On the flight line.

I'll be the first one there.

Hutch worked all night

on the bomb rack on Gutterman's airplane.
And by the time he let us take off,

we were far enough
behind schedule to worry me.

We were due to dead stick
on an enemy island at dawn.

We had enough light to see the runway,

or what used to be the runway
before the Japanese abandoned it.

But if we came in too late,

there was a chance we'd be spotted.

So we flew fast and waited
for the sunrise.

It gets cold at 25,000 feet.

But for some reason, I was sweating.

It could've been nerves,
but I was afraid it wasn't.

I had just gotten over
an attack of malaria

that had kept me grounded for two days.

And it felt like the fever was coming back.

Under the circumstances,
that was all I needed.

Okay, we're on time.

When we start down, it'll still be dark,
but don't let it worry you.

By the time we reach the runway,
it ought to be light enough to see.

Any of you guys have anything to say?

Now let's go in.

I'll lead the way,
Jim, you bring up the rear.

Remember, 30 seconds apart.

Hey, where's Jim?

Hey, there he is.

He's too low.

Hey, one of his bombs is droppin' loose.

If the tip of that egg
touches the ground...

Jim, take it easy.
Don't rock the boat.

Was I draggin'?

One of the shackles came loose.

You got a 500-pounder hangin'
half way to the ground.

That's what I was afraid of.

Rear shackles are all right.

T.J., get the radio out of my bird
and stay with it.

Okay, Pappy.

Anybody bring a bottle?

Why is it I have to think
of everything myself?

All right, let's lift this up.

Don.

Yeah?

You Just hook it.
Watch the detonator.

Okay.

You Just hook it
when they lift it.

Okay, I will.

Okay, ready?
- Ready.

Let's do it on three.
- Okay.

One.

Two.

Come on.

Watch out!

Pappy!

You okay, Pappy?

Get it up.

A little more.

Hey, what's goin' on?

T.J., get Pappy out of here.

Don't move him, T.J. may have
something wrong with his back.

It's not his back, Jim.

He's havin' an attack of malaria.

Want another pill, Pappy?

Yeah.

Hey, what are we gonna do?

Pappy can't fly in the condition he's in.

I don't know.

Atabrine may help.

I need more water.

I'll see if I can find some.

Japanese on this rock must drink
something other than Saki.

I got it.

What is it?

What is it, Ace?

A weather report.

So what?

I don't get it.

You don't get what?

Listen.

For Suva and FiJi lslands to New Hebrides
continued light variable westerly winds

six to eight knots
with two to four foot swells.

So what?

Suva didn't have any weather.

This whole thing was a con?

There wasn't even no seagulls from Pearl?

Well, there certainly weren't
any volunteers now, was there?

Pappy and Moore, they dreamed
the whole thing up.

I don't see why this man stopped
at stealing a little stinkin' squadron.

A con man with talent like him, why, he
could own a whole Marine Air Wing by now.

That's gotta be Moore.

That's it.
Home Base to Bushwhackers.

Bottle neck now estimated
in position 11:00 hours.

We got one hour.

Pappy can't fly in one hour.

Well, then we leave him here.

He'll get over it, take off,
and meet us on the carrier.

What about the Japanese
on the other side of this island?

They're gonna hear us takin' off.

They're gonna be over here in 10 minutes.

That man there's gonna be a sittin' duck.

So what do you suggest?
I'm not gonna sacrifice

this man's life to complete this mission.

We've been lied to,
we've been conned,

we've been roped into this thing.

Doc told us what would happen
if we let that man fly.

We never should have changed our mind.

Now you get on the horn, you call Moore,

tell him we have to scrub
this mission. Do it right now.

No.

Stay away from that radio.

That's an order.

I'm in command here now, Greg.

Make the call, T.J.

I said no.

Stay away from that radio.

You got to cock that gun
for it to fire, Greg.

Okay.

What do you think you are gonna do?

I'm gonna hit that target.

Y-y-you can't make it, Pappy.

He'll find out for himself.

You go get Jerry.
Bring him back here.

Go fast, please!

Come on, Greg.

Pappy, you can't fly and you know it.

Leave me alone.

You guys might be right.

I may not get off the ground.

But I'm not gonna stay here
and find out who gets me first.

Malaria or the Japanese.

If I'm gonna check out,

I'm gonna do it my way.

Jerry.

Something went wrong, Jim.

It looks like you win this one, Greg.

Help me get him up there.

That's crazy.
He can't fly.

Well, he's gonna have to.

Now help me get him up there.

I'm not gonna make it.

All right, Don, I got it.

ToJo patrol!

They're right behind us!

ToJo patrol is comin'.

Okay, we're goin'.

Jim, I'm okay.

Thanks.

How about one of you gentlemen
giving me a little cover fire?

You fly lead, Jim.

You're in command.

Okay, Pappy.

Pappy, you're losin' altitude.

Hang on, Pappy.

How're you doin', Greg?

I'm doin' okay.

Nearin' target.

It's right on time.

All right.

Let's hit her.

We got 'em, Pappy.

That's... that's good, Jim.

Mohawk to Black Sheep leader.

Mohawk to Black Sheep leader.

This is Black Sheep leader.
Over.

We have you on scope.

Change course to 137 degrees
and you'll be in our landing.

What's your fuel supply?

Well, our tanks are...

Our tanks are down and that's not all.
We got a sick man with us.

How sick is he?

He'll land first.

Negative.

If you're low on fuel
and he fouls the deck,

the rest of you may have to ditch.

Listen here, man.
Boyington lands first,

or else I'm gonna bomb your aircraft
carrier myself personally.

Jim, he's right. I go in last.

Greg, you're lucky
to be in the air now at all.

Don't argue.

You're coming in cockeyed.

Straighten out your flight.

You're too far to the side.
You can't correct.

Abort your landing and come around again.

Go around.

Get the pilot out of that airplane
and clear the flight deck fast.

Hold altitude and circle the ship, Major.

Your pilot's all right,

and we'll bring you in
as soon as we can.

You're cleared to land, Major.

You're cleared to land, Major.

You're doing just fine.

He's gonna make it.

He's gonna make it.
