[[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]], '''''[[Black Sheep Squadron''']]'' (the syndication title; it was called ''[[Baa Baa Black Sheep]]'' in its first broadcast run) follows the adventures of a United States Marine fighter squadron (inspired by the [[wikipedia:VMFA-214|Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214]]) based somewhere in the Solomon Islands during [[World War II]]. Major Greg "Pappy" Boyington rode herd on a group of misfits and oddballs who became a crack flying team.
 
The series ran for two seasons between September 23, 1976 and April 6, 1978, for a total of 36 episodes. (The [[pilot]] was split into two episodes in syndication.)
