twelve o'clock high : S2E23 The Survivor 

AmericanIsraeliJew He was a nazi and a member of the skull and bones and was anything but honorable; horrible would better fit his legacy.

I grew up around many men who fought in WWII, didn't like to talk about it, served without protest, and loved their country. It was clear what they were fighting for, defense against the Nazi and Japanese attackers. They were honorable men.

@Howard Pringnitz You're just jealous cause he married Barbara Bush.

@Maria Kelly It is just amazing how many conspiracy theories and how much hateful garbage is thrown around freely on the internet, and how many people actually buy this garbage and believe it. When he was president, I was not a big fan of his, but after seeing what the GOP has turned into, and how selfish and hateful politicians in general have become since then, and seeing how much GHWB worked with, respected and came to like Bill Clinton, the man who unseated him and became enemy no. 1 of the GOP, I came to realize how decent and honorable a man he truly was.

@@lsmart HW was both the last of the Eisenhower/ Nelson Rockerfeller generation of Republicans and the first of the Reagan-GW Bush neoconservative movement which is the GOP of today. He arguably opened the door to corporate lobbying, swamp building and infiltration by hate groups into the GOP despite growing up in a very different time.

"Some officers go by the book, some don't. I don't, but he does"- Col. Gallagher speaking of another Colonel

+Brucev7 David McCallum was much too intelligent for her.

McCallum was also in the superb series COLDITZ from BBC :)

Brucev7 Thanks

Wow! A lot of memories there. The "Man from U.N.C.L.E". Reminded me of another series, "The Saint ". Memories in the file cabinet in my head.

Rod Firefighter Losing a loved one or close friend, even a pet of many years, is always painful. It takes time to heal. Time and being good to yourself. We all experience that pain.

Love watch this show as a real young kid and got to live it on a Easter Connie we were flying from wpb to pittsburg pa indirect flight and loss three engines the first over heated and was fether second oil start to leak out on wing the third they ran over heated till it couth 🔥 fire so the pilot turn the plane to pick up a till wind that was30 mph he put the conversation he was having with easter over the cabin PA that he wanted to belly it in becouse he thought we would stall he was order to restart the first engine we landed at the closes airport in the direction wind is and Tennessee with wheels down I wish I had that conversation in the picture of us me and my mom getting off she never talk about again so much for flying to a funnel in 1964on a prop

Chetin Basaran Makes sense.

My Uncle was a Marine and had Survivors syndrome. In a single attack He was one of 2 marines that survived out of a squad of Nine

No, just go ahead and change the American to German markings!!??

Oh, wow! Really? What was it? What else did she do? What was her name in Star Trek? What year was that? Did she enjoy it? Oh, wow!!!!

@@LazlosPlane He's bullshittin' you. Can't you recognize it? Star Trek would never put a person of her legacy on their stage. Last thing they needed was a troublemaker screwing things up and derailing the show. William Shatner tried, but they straightened his ass out quick. He claimed there were no illegal aliens onboard. They took his ass out to the San Joaquin valley and asked him "Are there any farms on the Enterprise?"

@@koyotekola6916 Think you have to split those pills in half.

@@LazlosPlane Splitting B-12 pills doesn't do any good. You're just going to pee it out faster.

@@koyotekola6916 Okay....okay.. be calm... the nice men in the white suits will be there soon... they will give you candy! won't that be nice?? You like candy don't you?? Yes, you do! Yes, you do! Who's a good boy? Who's a calm good boy? Yes, you are!

Same stunt that Frank Tallman did for the originalmovie (1949) re-used over and over.

Rolland Fitch by the time this series was made if the belly landed a different B17 every time a script called for it, there would be none left flying today. The only other option would be a model, but we saw how bad that technique worked in the previous episode 25 Missions. At this time in television you had to suspend reality just a bit to get the story told. By 1980 when BetaMax and later VHS came out we had tools at our disposal (Rewind, Reverse, Fast Forward, Slow Play, etc, to nitpick every detail. Sometimes the actors make verbal miscues. I could swear Kominnsky called himself a Lt. When he told the gunners he would put them on report if they didn’t treat the pilot in command with respect. Today there are production people assigned to watch all these continuity details and things are reshot or even digitally correct. Production Time was tight with a weekly series and technology relatively poor. It was what it was.

​@@markfields1692Mark. Thank you for this commentary, much appreciated.

It's between ground crew facing head-on and aircrew (pilot's position) as normally seated in the aircraft.

At the time she was married to David McCallum

QuasiRandomViewer 😆🤣😂. Phone rings at the bar, but he well may have been reaching reflexively! We all do when we hear one.

No cell phones until well after the 1980s so I doubt it

Sorry, all those actors couldn't make it to this episode!

Yes, it was turned face out to signify a mission. They've done that before in another episode.

Russ G and Teacherman1955, having a good friend who's dad flew B17G's, 43-45; I asked and tradition was face out - the bar is open, face to wall - the bar is closed (relating to missions or other conditions). Wm. D. Gamble 11-11-1916 - 8-14-1998. Shot down twice. UG got crew back to England once. 2nd time POWs for a few months til wars end 5-8-45. Both times whole crew survived.

It's been a long while since I've read the book...can't remember which way they did it in there.

Well the pilot who was there when it was happening said face out - bar open, no mission; Face to wall - bar closed, mission coming up.

I'll go with that...

They aren't armed until they drop. The little propeller on the front has a wire through it so it won't spin and arm the detonator until it falls away. It's comparable with cocking the hammer on a gun. However, they will explode in a fire.

@@Bubba22able Then why was it that in an earlier episode, when the bomb failed to drop, they had to get rid of it before landing?

@@lsmart In case the plane crashes on landing and there is a fire.

no

alexander komanski

I thought I've noticed his rank just jumping around ON a few of these episodes?

Dave C that’s what I heard, Lt Komanski. He was always referred to as Sandy. Yes I get it that Sandy can be a nickname for Alexander but it sure sounded like Lieutenant

Rod Firefighter I think I heard Andrew Duggan call Col Gallagher “ Gen’l Gallagher” in a few episodes. What would be interesting for all the audio dialogue be run through something like Dragon software to produce a transcript. Would be interesting to see copies of the scripts

No, Capt. Bradovich was Don Gordon. Kirby was Jack Hogan.

No

Damn, it is called a babysitter. They had them during the '40's in england.

Probably, but I had friends in Europe in the seventies who said some couples left infants in the crib with bottles and went out for hours. One couple shocked them by taking a day trip across a border from Holland to France, leaving a baby less than a year old for most of a day. Terribly unsafe parenting. I'd call it abuse, because I never left my babies alone to hang clothes on the line. Others do.

Yes! And surprisingly a bunch of characters pickin' on her, too.

+GIOVANNI1955C Jill Ireland had a really nice tushy, even if she had a really mean swing.

GIOVANNI1955C Yes, but great eye candy.

The only woman to tame Spock.

It don't take a good actress to make a man feel real good. Just ask Bill Clinton.

Agreed. As I commented above, her breakdown sobbing scene in particular is painfully inept and fake.

Sorry, I've always liked Jill and accidentally found out a lot about her. She was a good person.

"This Side of Paradise" with Frank Overton.

@@rodfirefighter8341 She may have been a good person, and she certainly died way too young, but I must agree. Her acting in this episode was 2nd rate, and when she breaks down and cries to admit she was the attacker, her crying and acting is 5th rate.

Yep. Interestingly, I checked on IMDB, and after the first few episodes of Season 2, all the episode writers were new names who never appeared in Season 1. It's as if all the good writers got upset when Lansing got fired and quit in protest. But these episodes are, with a few rare exceptions, much more soap-opera-like, with far out, predictable, and uninteresting plots. There are also repetitive themes, such as loners and wackos who break away from the group in combat, or Gallagher being wounded and shot down.

@@lsmart True fact, Leo. These scripts stunk, imho.

​@@lsmartThe soap was Quinn Martin s stock in trade, to get the most out of his big stable of performers. New time slot [730 Monday] this season was also intended to widen the audience, levels being very low the previous year. This meant enlisting more femme audience.
