Black Sheep Squadron

TV Rated: Not Rated (most likely TV-PG or TV-14)

A chaplain comes to visit Vella La Cava.

Through some paperwork error Bob Anderson is declared dead. Anderson gets the feeling that he has bad karma and that he will die soon.

The chaplain and Pappy both try to snap Bob out of this morose line of thinking. But have little luck. Bob spends a lot of time contemplating his death. We also find him playing the clarinet. He uses some music that he says he found on the island after it was abandoned by the Japanese.

All the while the Seabees are building a hospital on the other side of the island. This interferes with regular operations at 214's base. Boyington finally figures out that through yet another paperwork error, they are building an ammo depot instead of a hospital and it becomes the target of enemy fighters.


Bob's obsession with death ends when the chaplain finally loses his patience and decks Bob. Shortly after this the Seabees realize their mistake but the enemy is coming in for an attack. The chaplain dies when he goes to the area to see if he can be of any help.
