Yeah, any one remember this show? Good old Pappy Boyington
was played by Robert Conrad and they used real F4U Corsairs! What a show! The uniforms were ok, and the hair cuts were definitely 70's but, all in all I remember watching some of the last seasons when I was a kid. That my friends was my first encounter with WWII aircraft. It stuck to me ever since! The elegant curve of those gull-winged F4U's and the nice navy blue painted bodies with the big white stars on the wings.
Three years ago the History Channel was rerunning some of these episodes and I just loved watching what I watched 20 years before. Memories my friends, memories!
This isn't an attempt to start a WWII thread in a Movie/TV category. I just wanted to see who here remembers or watched it back in the day.
Cheers!
