The U.S. Air Force has gone from “The Right Stuff” and Chuck Yeager to “My little Pilot”.
During my days in the army (1964-1967) Batman was the thing all the guys flocked around the TV to watch.
I served in both the 5th Army Band at Ft Sheridan Il and the 74th Army band at Ft Ben Harrison IN (Uncle Bennies Rest Home).
Batman was very popular during my 74th Army band days and the band played the theme song from it quite often.
I even had a ‘Batman’ insignia on the back of my music lyre.
