A DISCUSSION WITH... National Authors on Tour TV Series was produced between 1989 and 1995 by Hennepin County Library, recorded as a companion to the NORTHERN LIGHTS Minnesota Author Interview TV Series which primarily focused on literary figures from the state. Since many authors touring in support of new books come to the Twin Cities area, this series was developed to interview these individuals. The TV Series was coordinated by Eileen Cavanagh; recorded/edited by Dave Carlson and the A/V staff, and was played back in prime time on Metro Cable Network/Channel 6 throughout the metro area. Some of these original 160 half hour episodes are now for the first time being digitized for online viewing. Hennepin County Library plans to digitize the entire series for their digital collection in 2024. Check this RU-vid Channel in the near future for additional videos from this series. See the link below for a list of all episodes.
Ugh, Graham Hancock is the quintessential charlatan. This is great footage of a snake oil salesman in action though. How about that Earth Crust Displacement? "This is exactly what happened." -Graham Hancock🤣😂🤣
I had hoped that they would have discussed the novel more. It may be my favorite of the series. At coming back to the story, he went back to the beginning a pulled out what at the time was a simple joke about the woman who suddenly has the answers to why everything has gone wrong and builds a "conclusive" hilarious story. Truly miss Doulas's ideas🤔
Yeah. I read _On a Wing and a Prayer_ 30 or 40 years ago. So - I was aware of Harry and the Bucky's. One thing he mentioned was that when the Bucky's got shot down the nature of the group changed and it became more by the book and less wild. (IIRC). .
An accomplished and articulate man, thank God he was on our side. An absolute legend. Keep sleeping peacefully Mr Crosby and thank you to you and your colleagues for your outstanding military service. UBIQUE from the granddaughter and great granddaughter of passed WWl & WWll British Army and Navy veterans 🥀🥀
It would have also been great if Hanks and Spielberg would have at least mentioned the B-24 at some point in the series, like Mr. Crosby did in this interview. Admittedly I'm biased as my uncle was a radio operator on libs with the 404th Bomb Squadron in the Aleutians.
WELL DONE INTERVIEW. VERY IMPRESSED. FOR AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF THAT LOST CIVILIZATION GOOGLE JOHNNY VINCENTO get ANCIENT ATLANTIS TABLETS AND THEIR MESSAGE ON SPACETIME TRAVEL
I recently finished this book and highly recommend. There a few men today that could do what these men did? If we had a world war today, we would be in deep shit.
It would have been great IMO for Hanks and Spielberg to get the rights to some of these interviews and put them in the “Masters of The Air” series. The whole production lacked the historical tie to the real-life characters that made BOB so enthralling.
Because unfortunately by the time masters of the air was finally developed, most of these guys were dead. Damn shame the millions of heroes of that generation are now down to a few thousand.
@@Shadowdoc26that's not even the only reasons it was because production was during covid BS and Writers strike and as well as many 100th Bomb Group vets were died only 3 are left and one of which is a Co-Pilot all thr reasons why the show was a disappointing
This must have been after his memoirs were just published. Part of his book is quite an eye opener especially since what he did during WWII which is brought up surprisingly in Masters of the Air.
holy heck he's just like I expected him to be from watching Masters of the Air. Anthony Boyle is so similar in his mannerisms, the way he talks an' all.
The English invented the F word and bloody was never seen as equivalent, it’s always been a much milder swear word that even old ladies would use. “You bloody kids!” would be like saying “you damn kids” or even “darn” depending on how relaxed your parents were about such things. “Fred, the bloody cow got out again!” And it still always also referred to being bloody, as in covered in blood or a “bloody battle”. In fact, you could use it both ways in one sentence straight after each other. “That battle was bloody bloody!”
Before Miller’s “Masters of the Air,” there was Col. Crosby’s “Wing and a Prayer.” ALL of the 100th stories in Masters came originally from Harry’s book, which is simply not getting the recognition it deserved. This was the OG humanized history and story of the 100th.
Reading about what each branch’s unique theatre and experience, shows a great sublime of fighting an enemy and understanding their culture/how they approach battle. The Japanese would fight to the last man, Russians would shoot their own in the back if they retreated. Thankfully, these men were able to write the stories. With the mass censorship campaigns worldwide, it’s best we all know our past.
