Brief History
The Flying Gang was started by veteran privateers Henry Jennings, Samuel Bellamy, Charles Vane, Benjamin Hornigold and many others. These pirates would take their wealth and Hornigold and fellow pirate Thomas Barrow established a new government within Nassau and set to work building a legitimate pirate republic.
The Flying Gang started the careers of men like Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach who was on Hornigold's crew before he assumed captaincy in his own right. It also started the careers of Edward England and eventually grew to include many other pirates including Olivier Levasseur and many more. The Flying Gang was one of the most influential groups of pirates alongside the Brethren of the Coast and one of the most powerful in the entire Golden Age of Piracy. In fact at one point the British were legitimately worried about the pirates establishing their own breakaway civilization in the West Indies that would threaten the colonial power structure.
