Photographed at the Star Wars and the Power of Costume exhibit displayed at the EMP Museum in Seattle, WA.
A Marine flyer since 1935, Colonel Gregory “Pappy” Boyington was encouraged to resign his commission to fly with the Flying Tigers in China. There he got credit for six Japanese planes. But when he applied for reinstatement in the Marine Corps, he found himself disgraced for “having left the Corps in time of national emergency.” For nearly three months he parked cars in a Seattle garage until, in desperation, he telegraphed an Under Secretary of the Navy. In a few days he was on the way to the South Pacific where he was given a squadron of misfits. These pilots, unwanted by other outfits, and led by the oldest active Marine fighter pilot, made one of the great records of the war. The heart of this book is the colorful story of Boyington’s Black Sheep Squadron.
“Pappy” Boyington was a wild, hard drinking, professional Marine flyer who was one of the most unconventional heroes of World War II. As wild and independent as he was, he was a competent leader of men and had no desire to change his ways. He had never let anyone kick him around, and he saw no reason why he should let the Japanese do so in the air or after he was taken prisoner.
Winner of a Congressional Medal of Honor and a Navy Cross for his achievements while leading the Black Sheep Squadron, “Pappy” Boyington had twenty months as a prisoner of the Japanese in which to gain emotional maturity and sobriety. He freely admitted that during the nearly two years he spent as a P.O.W. his health improved due to the enforced sobriety. He retired from the Marine Corps on August 1, 1947.
Many people know of Pappy Boyington from the mid-1970s television show Baa Baa Black Sheep, a drama about the Black Sheep squadron based very loosely on Boyington's memoir, with Boyington portrayed by Robert Conrad. Many of Boyington's men were irate over this show, charging it was mostly fiction and presented a glamorized portrayal of Boyington. Boyington himself often told interviewers and audiences that the television series was fiction and only loosely related to actual history. Here is a 1970’s interview with Boyington and the actor who portrayed him on television, Robert Conrad.

This Air Force Captain spends her time at NAS Fallon chasing the NAVY flyers around the skies of Nevada. She was very popular at the air races, especially with the young people...especially the girls.
This is part of a very striking monument on the Thames Embankment in London, which commemorates The Battle of Britain. Many striking (and poignant) scenes are visible. It was the first time I had seen it, having opened in September 2005..

A capitã-aviadora Daniele Lins teve as primeiras aulas práticas de aviação aos 18 anos, antes de aprender a dirigir um carro. "Virei piloto antes de tirar carteira de habilitação", disse à Folha. Desde 2003 na Força Aérea Brasileira, ela escolheu a carreira militar sem nenhuma influência familiar. "Nem sei ao certo por que escolhi a carreira. Não tenho parentes militares. Mas posso dizer que me interessei desde jovem, quando quis estudar no Colégio Militar do Rio por ser conhecido pelo ensino de qualidade", disse. Em 2003, no último ano do ensino médio, passou num concurso da FAB. Naquele ano, as mulheres puderam ter acesso ao curso de formação de oficiais aviadores da Academia da Força Aérea (AFA). A Aeronáutica é a única força que autoriza o ingresso feminino em armas de combate. Em aviões da Força Aérea, Daniele começou a pilotar sem nunca ter passado por experiências anteriores na área de aviação. "Tinha algum fascínio por aviação, mas parecia um sonho inatingível", afirmou.Hoje casada com um oficial do Exército, ela crê que a evolução feminina será constante. "As mulheres conquistaram espaço na sociedade toda. Nas Forças Armadas não pode ser diferente."
Getting a little bored with crispy clean color images, digging going back in time to my black and white days and vintage subject matter. This texture turns out to be one of my all time favs, works well with color and non color work. Thanks Nasos3!

Lieutenant Katarzyna Tomiak -Siemieniewicz, Poland’s first female MiG-29 fighter pilot, in the cockpit a jet.
A work of non-fiction, “God is My Co-Pilot” is Col. Robert L. Scott’s first person account of his experiences as a fighter pilot in the Pacific during World War II. The stories that Scott tells of the missions he flew are truly amazing. There isn’t a dull moment or boring story in the book, which was the basis for a 1945 American war film.
