Lard!

Oh ... if you read Pappy's memoirs (recommended BTW) ... there really WAS a Col. Lard and he really was a ... so-and-so as shown in the show.
Yup! I read Pappy Boyington's book about 20 years ago. I don't remember much from it, though. What I can remember now is he mentioned how they were ill-fed in the POW camp, but he worked in the kitchen so he would steal food every now and again.

I read that too. And the biography. IIRC…I do believe there was a colonel Lard.
