Corsairs were flown by the famous "Black Sheep" Squadron, led by Marine Maj. Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, whose exploits were the basis for the mid-1970s television show Baa Baa Black Sheep

With all the interest in the past few years of turning iconic 60s and 70s TV shows into movies, I'm surprised they have never done that with "Blacksheep Squadron". With the story elements they would have to work with and today's special effects, you could make a great movie.

Probably incorrect to show the superiority of American society and technology over other races now, unless they could slide a backhanded slap at American imperial unilateral aggressiveness in some elitist and arrogant way that is a hallmark of most Hollywood trash these days.

I would certainly pay to see it.

Be careful what you ask for - they'd be portrayed "air-raiding villages and killing civilians".
