This is the true story of one of the most successful of all United States Navy Fighting Squadrons in WW II. They were the first Navy squadron into combat action with the new Chance Vought Corsair and were instrumental in proving this powerful new fighter to the Navy. VF-17 was known as the Skull & Crossbones squadron and "Blackburn's Irregulars" - now known as the "Jolly Rogers."
