John F. Bolt Jr. arrived at Espiritu Santo in 1943 and was assigned to a pool of officers meant to replace injured or killed pilots. In August 1943 a decision was made to revive VMF-214 “Black Sheep” squadron led by Maj. Gregory Boyington. Bolt was one of 27 men assigned to VMF-214 and in September 1943 they moved to Russell Islands where Bolt was promoted to 1st Lt. Bolt scored six victories during WWII and six in Korea flying jets, the only Marine to do so.

First flown in May 1940, the F4U Corsair was a carrier-capable fighter aircraft that saw service during World War II and Korean War.
