Ugh, that awful TV show with that midget Robert Conrad and wrong late vintage F4U’s with 4 bladed props.
And then Japanese and American pilots would taunt each other over the radio.
Japanese aircraft radios were so poor they typically couldn’t even contact their bases much less talk to Americans on a different frequency.

If I recall, the ones used on the Show were the only operational Flying examples of the F4U at the time.
Of course the Flying scenes used stock footage.
LOL! I was also wondering why one of the guys wore a modern NFL jersey top myself.
Yeah, but the nurses were hot - and the chief mechanic character (actor Red West) was always entertaining. He probably had more in common with the real Greg Boyington (in terms of hard living) than anyone else in the cast.
