I second "Victory At Sea". Real history always beats staged history.

"12 O'Clock High," I am proud to say, showed as a stock shot the crash landing of a B-17F flown by my uncle, Robert S. Webb. Uncle Bob was the youngest bomber pilot in the Army Air Corps. He flew 55 straight missions over Italy and Germany during the War and won the Distinguished Flying Cross with 7 oak leaf clusters.

He was a kind and God-loving man, who always prayed that his bombs would not hit "innocent" people, but was not a softy. After the War, when he worked for the Virginia Electric Power Company, he was at a trade fair when he saw a German company displaying ovens. His comment to the salesman was "Yeah, you Germans are VERY good at making ovens."

I miss him so much, and I look forward to seeing him in Heaven. His mortal remains are at Arlington Cemetery.

I did not know that. He was great in the Rifleman also.

You're right and it lasted three seasons; Tour of Duty - 1987-1990. Good show.

As the years go by, MASH becomes more and more of an embarrassment. The earlier episodes were vicious anti-military diatribes. The later episodes were silly, stale drivel.

"China Beach?
The one with the CSI chick, right?"

Yup, she played a hooker.

But that was on for several seasons, so I don't think it's the right one.

China Beach was the Kim Delany one but Tour of Duty had David Keith in it I think
