It follows the 918th Heavy Bombardment Group, part of the 8th Bomber Command of the US Eighth Air Force. Army Air Force Brigadier General Frank Savage is asked to take over the 918th by General Pritchard. Savage is a tough as nails commander and builds the Group into the "best bomb group" in Eighth Air Force.

At the start of the 2nd season, Savage is killed and Col. Joseph Gallagher takes over for the next two seasons. The 918th Group is first led by Savage then Gallagher. Major Harvey Stovall is the Adjutant, later the Ground Exec.

Major Joe Cobb is a Squadron Commander and later Air Exec in the first season. It goes without saying that the first season's acting by Lansing is just plain incredible! Some of the biggest 1960s TV and movie stars, guest-starred on this show. William Shatner and Burt Reynolds even guest starred!

Every episode was a work of art and well crafted stories about the human condition under the stress of war! From the Hitchcock-like "The Threat" to the wonderful mystery of "The Suspected", this show delivered high quality stories, again and again! Although Lansing was fantastic, I always liked Paul Burke. He was a fine actor and played Col.

Jack Lord played Gallagher's older brother Preston. His intense performance of a soldier pushed to the brink is haunting, as is the scene walking through his personal graveyard... Dominic Frontiere's music score is worth it ALONE! The movie was a masterpiece and so was the TV series, in it's own way.

In today's TV world every show has it's girl "eye-candy" or "hot bod" partner. TOH pulled off incredible story-telling with no regular female cast! You just feel the weight of the war on Robert Lansing's shoulders in the first season. Unfortunately the series hit too close to home in the 60's due to the Vietnam War climate and was cancelled after season 3. Here every episode on 40 DVDs- all 3 seasons (78 episodes); excellent (9.5) quality...

You may find cheaper, you won't find better! 39 DVDs, full animated motion menus by ACT numbers, UNCUT, in broadcast order, animated menus with the theme music and illustrated DVDs! Recommended watching on a pre-digital 4:3 (analog) aspect ratio TV or Blu-Ray player. 78 hrs of WWII air war drama and intrigue!
