Marine Corps Fighter Squadron 214 was hastily structured in the field during World Conflict II to meet the urgent dependence on another combat squadron in the South Pacific. The squadron, self-named the "Black Sheep", went on under the control of the swashbuckling "Pappy" Boyington to become the most famous in Marine Corps background. Now comes the true history of the Black color Sheep Squadron and the men who published its record in the Pacific skies. Once THESE WERE Eagles explains to how and why the squadron was developed, provides quick sketches of each member, and creates a stunning picture of the interesting but fatal aerial sorties in the South Pacific. Frank E. Walton located the 34 survivors of the 51 original Black color Sheep. In a unique group of interviews, previous "Eagles" promote their recollections of those days of high experience and their experiences in the years to follow.
