Thought you might enjoy some TOCH, B-17 action! Remember these actors?

I believe they film this series at Chino Airport in Ca. My friends father offered some technical advise (not professionally) as he was a Ball Gunner. I tried watching this series recently and couldn't do it. Sometimes it sucks being a WWII buff.

I wish these were on DVD.

Never seen this before.
Typical 60's - nobody bleeds when they die. It was all very nice, patriotic and clean. But - most of all - boring camerawork, 100% studio!
Luckily we've come a long way since then...

I still like it and yup, I too wish the series was on DVD. I wish they would remake these like all the skuttle butt says they want to.

It's Twelve O'Clock Somewhere

I still like it too and admit its faults. It was part of a great era of WW2 shows like Combat and The Gallant Men and Rat Patrol.

12 O'Clock High DVD's

Hi all,

Just joined and this is my first post. I Googled around and found this set of DVD's. I have no idea of the quality of the DVD or know anything about the company. Just though that I'd let one and all know that they do seem to exist:

Ive been enjoying this thread!
Ironically today, a colleague passed me a photo from the series & mentioned there would be included in tomorrow's obituary for Paul Burke who played Col Gallagher.

Here's some early coverage

So sad to hear!..I met Paul Burke once at a CAF show and he signed a photo for me. RIP Col. Gallagher.

Seconded. A shame they don't show Combat! on Starz anymore, I can't find the DVDs anywhere ....

 

[Dixon Cannon]

Well, my new friend CSMiller has solved that one too!

Combat! http://www.tvaddicts.tv/movie/drama/combat.html

You gotta love the fresh air that new people bring in with them!

Another nice, but short live series was "The Gallant Men". I picked up the series on DVD. As for Combat! on DVD you can find it look around.

Combat was 12 O'Clock High

Hi all,

Thanks for the welcome and glad to be of help. A few months back I bought two DVD's (which made up the 1st season) of Combat for my father. Got them at Sam's Club. I haven't seen them yet but I do remember watching them with my father when I was quite young. Don't remember much of anything about them though. Also got Rat Patrol there. There aren't any Combat's at my local Sam's but last time I looked there were still some Rat Patrol's. You never know what you might find there.

Gallant Men

Hi Davep,

Going to the same source (once again !!!) you can actually get "Gallant Men":

http://www.tvaddicts.tv/movie/action/The_Gallant_Men.html

Looking around that site it is a bit scary - all those series that I remember (and some I gratefully forgot until now). Amazing what you can buy these days. Though some of the prices are a bit rich for my blood though..... ;-)

[csmiller]

Sorry 'bout that

Hi Davep,

After going back and rereading your post I see that you already have the "Gallant Men" DVD... OK - I really shouldn't be reading here and trying to do work at the same time. Guess I really should concentrate on just one thing .... and unfortunately it has to be work. Have to earn $$ to eat and pay for my hobbies....

You should never eat hobbies. Especially those involving toxic chemicals or sharp pointy things.

Hey look, it's Trapper John and Baretta!

"Fightas! Fightas 11 o'clock!" lol

But what if your hobby IS EATING? You know, I watched that clip and never recognized "Trapper John".....
