QR Code Link to This Post
Bye Bye Black Sheep by Captain Masajiro "Mike" Kawato, WWII Ace Japanese Zero fighter pilot, who famously shot down Pappy Boyington (ex U.S. Marine WWII pilot and author of Baa Baa Black Sheep). This autographed copy is a must-have for any military history enthusiast or collector of autobiographies.
Masajiro Mike Kawato, credited with shooting down Marine Corps flying ace, Gregory Pappy Boyington. Congressional Medal of Honor winner Pappy Boyington, whose popular autobiography Baa Baa Black Sheep has been praised as a war memoir that ranks with the best, was shot down on January 3, 1944. That same day Masajiro Kawato, a young Japanese flyer, opened fire on an American Corsair F4U over the Pacific, following the plane as it went into a dive, [maneuvering] left and right until its pilot parachuted out and the plane went down, skimming the surface of the ocean. Years later, when Kawato moved to the United States, he met Pappy Boyington and after the men became friends, concluded that the flyer shot down by that day was in fact the legendary American pilot.
$120 cash. Shipping option is available.
