Boss LCDR Butch VORS

The Blue Angels disbanded and several went to serve together at VF-191, "Satan's Kittens."

The Team was brought back and re-formed late in 1951 to ready themselves for a 1952 show season. Because former "Boss" Johnny MADGA was killed in action in Korea, LCDR Butch Voris was brought back to re-form the Team.
