John F. Bolt Jr. arrived at Espiritu Santo in 1943 and was placed in a pool of officer meant to replace injured or killed pilots. In August 1943 a decision was made to revive the VMF-214 Squadron “Black Sheep” led by Major 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 Lieutenant.
