Fighting Squadron 17 (VF-17), under the command of LCDR Tom Blackburn, was known as the Jolly Rogers. The Jolly Rogers was one of the most famous fighter squadrons in the Navy. Their Corsairs shot down 127 Japanese aircraft in 75 days of combat. According to the VF-17 Home Page: "The squadron was one of the first navy squadrons to fly the Vought F4U Corsair fighter ... Because their plane was called Corsair, VF-17's men wanted a squadron name that would correspond with that pirate theme. They came up with the now-famous black flag with white skull and crossbones symbol and decided on the name Jolly Rogers. The Jolly Rogers painted their new logo on the sides of the engine cowling, not under the cockpit as tradition called for, so it wouldn't clutter up the fuselage where their kill markings would later be painted. Thus, the legend was born ... VF-17 was only active from 1943 to 1944, but during the squadron's short life, it recorded the most kills for any squadron up to that point in the war, with 154 confirmed kills, and many other probable kills."
