I know the shoe was not all that good, but it was great when I was 7 or whatever when it was on..


Worth it to watch the Corsairs.

Can you imagine a show like that being made today as a weekly series?  Today's effects and quality of production....man, that would rock.

Just when did we sell all of those AT-6's to Japan?

Cept the real life Pappy said he would love to have had conrad in his squad back then so he could beat the crap out of him.

I heard that come out of conrads mouth himself LOL

If you have season one, then you have all of the entire series' aerial shots. I heard Conrad say once that they only had 1 day of shooting. The insurance was too expensive on those Corsairs. They just kept recycling the footage. Pappy was actually in 1 episode as a visiting General.

I heard one episode had a P-38 in it - something about a hot shot AAF fighter pilot visiting their base and causing some kind of trouble.    Anyone remember that, or know if it is in season one?

Yep, Season 2. Episode entitled "Hot Shots". It had 2 38's, unless there was some trick photography.

Boyington was an alcoholic before the war ever started.

Oh, and it was a television show, not a documentary. It was never meant to be realistic, it was meant to be entertainment. Kind of like your posts, only they did a better job, they entertained, you're just crappy.

It had two P-38's (they were a lot more common in the 70's. The guest star that flew the P-38 was Frank Converse, who is more famous for playing Will Chandler in the "Movin On" series opposite Claude Akin who played Sonny Pruitt, the owner of the truck they drove.

I'm not sure which P-38's were used, I'd say Dan "Guppy 35" would know.

Y'know

The Corsair type is F4U-7 (aka French Corsair) were used in Baa Baa Black Sheep Show

[GtoRA2]

yeah there is a F4U-7 a -1 a -1d and a -4b as well.


Most people would never know..

The show is no worst then the Ateam or airwolf.  Still entertaining if you can set aside the realism issues.
