Pappy Boyington Field

Received this from an Airplane Geeks podcast listener:

Just wanted to inform you about my documentary film "Pappy Boyington Field."

Pappy Boyington was the leader of the famed VMF-214 Black Sheep Squadron in the Pacific during WWII, an ACE Fighter Pilot, POW, and recipient of the Medal of Honor. Many people will remember the popular television series "Baa Baa Black Sheep", which starred Hollywood icon Robert Conrad as Pappy.

You can learn more at the website: www.PappyBoyingtonField.com

The film tells the story of the grass-roots effort to honor this WWII Aviator in the town of his birth, with a commemorative airfield naming, and the campaign was not without controversy.

It has been shown at aviation events like EAA AirVenture Oshkosh airshow, and the Museum of Flight in Seattle. The documentary has just launched on DVD.

Please consider sharing this news with your fans.

Best regards,
