Care for a smoke, Lieutenant?

Yeah. We're out of enemy territory. Light up.

Alright. Take five.

Lieutenant.

When we started out on patrol this morning, you promised us a 24 hour pass when we got back.

That still go Sir?

Why sure, Palmer. It's in the book.

An officer may not break a promise.

No kidding. They got a rule like that?

You wanna buy the Eifell Tower, Palmer?

(noise from airplanes)

Some of ours I hope.

They got an early start today.

Means they'll be back in time for the first race this afternoon at Ascot.

I thought they didn't have horse racing in England on account of the war.

It's propaganda Palmer. It's pure propaganda.

They hold the racesin secret just for the Air Corps.

I mean it.

Nothing but the best for our flyboys.

Gentlemen, I say again. We'll be over primary targets at 0800 sharp.

Our approach pattern, 163 degrees at 3600 feet. And remember,

You cover for the man on your wing.

He peels off to chase bandits all alone.

Sure beats walking.

Let's pull out.

What a life those flyboys lead.

You know something?

Everyone of them gets to be a colonel when he's 21.

Sure. Get to be a one star General when they're 22.

It happens, it happens.

I guess those guys have got their problems.

Problems.

Softest job in the war. It's a cakewalk.

Bandits at 3 o'clock. Maple lead to continue on target.

Abel flight, scramble.

Captain Jampel sent me to head you off Lieutenant.

What for?

A hot shot pilot got knocked down. You're to go look for him.

Now what is this Lieutenant. We've been out since 4 o'clock this morning.

Where is he?

Here Sir.

Captain Jampel marked off the spot where, the pilot last called in before he bailed out.

This stinks.

I mean, no flyboy would come after me if I was in trouble.

Huh. Hey. Don't blame me boy.

This guy Major Caldwell's one of the biggest Aces we've got.

The Brass figures he's worth a million bucks to our side.

A million bucks? Well how much am I worth. You tell me that.

Alright, cut it Harmon.

Corporal. Can you give us a lift as far as the river?

Yes Sir.

Get in.

(German)

(German)

(German)

We could have gotten them easy.

Sure.

Have the rest of their unit down on our heads.

This whole area must be crawling with krauts.

They're here for the same reason we are.

How do you figure, Lieutenant?

One of the Germans said fallschirm. That means parachute.

They must have seen our flyboy bail out.

How far we going behind their lines Lieutenant?

Far enough to find him.

Uh huh. Flyboy likes to advertise, doesn't he.

Alright. Take it easy. We may not be the first ones here.

That stupid jerk. I thought pilots were supposed to hide those things.

Maybe he was hurt Harmon.

Poor guy probably be real glad to see us.

Alright, knock it off.

Get this thing down, and keep looking for him.

Well, it's about time you people showed up.

Alright, one more. Come on. Give it one more pull.

Okay. Now store it behind the bush. We don't have time to bury it.

Go ahead, behind there.

Oh uh...

I heard that crack about the stupid jerk who didn't hide his chute.

You found me because of it didn't you?

I didn't mean anything personal, Major.

Take care of the chute Harmon.

Major. We better start heading back to our lines.

Not yet Lieutenant. We're picking up one more man.

We thought only one plane came down.

Well you thought wrong. My wingman got shot down too.

Nobody said anything about a wingman.

Well, he's over there, on that ridge. He's bleeding badly.

-You been there? -Yup.

As soon as I got out of the tree.

I pulled him behind some cover and hid his chute. He's uh,

He's shot up but he's alive.

We'll have to make a litter to carry him back.

Oh Major. This area is crawling with Germans. They're all looking for you.

Then we'd better hurry Lieutenant.

Sir.

Brass told me that you were an Ace, worth a million bucks to our side.

Now may I suggest you go up with Harmon and Palmer.

Doc and I will take care of...

I don't want any of your suggestions.

Let's go.

He's a real hot rock.

Well at least he's not about to run out on his buddy.

Aired March 9, 1965

Open ground. Let's move Major.

Now I don't know one end of a P-47 from the other.

But down here I can smell an enemy trap a mile off.

You said you put him under cover.

That's right.

He could have come to and crawled out. That's possible isn't it?

Yes Sir. That's just what it looks like.

That's what's wrong with it.

Will you give me just five minutes to circle him.

Okay. 5 minutes.

Harmon. Palmer. You're on me.

Better let the Lieutenant handle it Sir.

The Lieutenant will do it as quiet as he can Major.

If there's any shooting, it might bring the Germans down on us.

(The Ace opens fire)

Gotta do something Hanley. He's losing blood. Got to get him outta here.

We all gotta get out of here Major, before we get the German army down on us.

We're gonna need a stretcher, Sir.

Where's Palmer?

Palmer's dead.

All because some hot shot jumped the gun.

Alright, take it easy Harmon.

Somebody had to do something. They were gonna open up.

Oh, sure they were.

You can read their minds, huh soldier.

All I know is that because of you he was caught out there like a sitting duck.

Harmon.

Take the jackets off the Germans, make a stretcher out of them.

Go ahead. Say what you're thinking Lieutenant.

My job is to get you out of here alive.

Sir.

Better get going.

Hey, wait a minute.

Looks like the Major's having trouble keeping up.

No way.

Those flyboys are all supermen.

Do you think they've spotted us?

I don't think so.

They're just looking for the downed flyers.

They are heading this way.

Too many to tackle.

Better keep low and quiet.

-Hey, easy. -Quiet.

Take a look at the Lieutenant, Doc.

I'm gonna check the road.

You give him morphine before,Sir?

When I first found him. Can he take any more?

Too soon, might kill him.

Then we better move out of here. Let's move faster.

That won't be easy.

Germans all over the place.

Apparently they want to make a big deal out of capturing you.

How do they know who they shot down anyway.

I had my kills marked on the side of my ship. Those iron crosses.

The Lufftwaffe could have radioed down.

-How many you got? -Twenty two.

Hey, that reminds me Lieutenant.

You better put another notch on your carbine.

You got that sergeant back there, remember.

Then you'll get issued a silk scarf if you get a few more.

Knock it off Harmon.

I'll handle this.

I suppose you think this scarf of mine is some hot rock ornament left over from the First World War huh.

-Well, no Sir, I.. -Shut up soldier. I'm talking to you.

Now we keep alive up there by making sure no jerry gets on our tail and surprises us.

In order to do that

we keep our heads on a swivel, heads

and eyes moving all the time, all the time.

Before I got this I rubbed my neck raw on this mauve shirt so I'm gonna keep right on wearing it.

You uh, got any other smart comment?

No Sir.

Let's move.

Straight ahead.

I thought our lines were more to the west Lieutenant.

Aye aye Sir.

So are the Germans who are looking for you.

Alright. We'll go your way.

Lieutenant,

I still say he's hurt.

Alright, take five.

I could go.

You're hurt, aren't you Major.

-I'll make it. -Doc?

Take a deep breath Major.

You should have said something about this before, Sir.

Major, I'm running out of bandages uh.

Could I use that scarf.

How's Lieutenant Garvey doing?

Not so good Sir.

He's getting weaker. I can't stop the bleeding.

Your heading's still the same Hanley?

Yes Sir.

And uh, that way is still the shortest distance to our lines huh.

Yes Sir.

Take it.

Major, there's Germans in there. Lot's of 'em.

Well, can you guarantee the way you're heading?

There aren't any that way?

No Sir, but...

Take my way.

-Major. -Now.

Yes Sir.

Behind!

(German)

You okay?

Yeah.

I've never seen their faces before.

Come on. Let's get outta here.

They're both dead Sir.

Now we gotta get outta here. One of the krauts got away.

Major, let's move. This time we go my way.

Look Major.

We're three guys in a tough spot.

Couldn't we help each other and get out of here.

Or we're gonna rot here.

Come on. Let's go.

You want a break?

Would you find me a nice shady spot Lieutenant so you and the Major can scoot out of here.

Alright, keep quiet Doc. We're almost to the valley.

-And then? -Then,

If the krauts haven't sealed it off,

we got a chance to get back in the way we came.

Let's go.

Come on. Top of the hill.

Down.

Company, huh.

Yeah.

I was afraid of this.

When we came in after you Major,

The main roads were covered,

and they had gun positions all over the edge of the valley.

-Now they've closed this side road. -Well, what do we do?

Wait until it gets dark.

Can't.

The kraut that got away isn't gonna wait one second before he spreads the word.

They can start coming in this area any minute.

You figure it's my fault, don't you, what happened to him.

I didn't say that.

You figure I was wrong, taking over from you.

Ordering that shortcut back there.

Look Major.

I stayed sane so far because I've learned not to cry over spilled blood.

No matter who's it was or how it was spilled.

Now in the war down here,

you have to learn to depend on the other guy.

And if he goofs,

well,

Something of a game in the infantry.

You ever fly?

Looks nice and clean, and secure up there, doesn't it?

It's not.

Not always.

Oh sure, you got guns, you got speed, you got

the best equipment that money can buy, but so does the other man that's out to get you.

Thing is there's no place to hide up there. There's no place to take a break.

And every time you go up,

you just get a little scared because,

because you're alone.

Sure, your wingman, he's supposed to be here, he's supposed to protect you, but

Some day you know he might fail you.

Someday, you might need him,

and he might not be there.

That what happened to you today? Garby fail ya.

I failed him.

We can't wait for dark. And we can't get through.

What do we do?

Sweat.

And hope that's the last road block between here and home.

If the guy in the motorcycle heads back, we can be pretty sure it is.

There's no cover. Can't just walk through it.

Hmm, maybe we can ride.

Let me have your hat Major?

Why?

Well, that motorcycle courier's looking for a hot shot pilot.

Maybe I can make it easy for him.

I'm wounded. Wounded.

Wounded.

Wounded.

Arg. Oh.

Took a big chance doing that.

Follow me here or didn't I tell you that. What's next?

Get him and his bike off the road.

Now look, I'll tell you once again. I don't know anything about riding one of those things.

Neither does Doc. You're the only one that does. So you have to take him.

If anybody goes Major it has to be you.

Suppose I order him to go with you.

You're the one we came after.

Now don't give me that worth a million bunk again.

He's wounded. He should go.

Tell you Major, I'd just as soon take my chances with the krauts rather than ride that motorcycle with the Lieutenant.

No offense Sir.

Well Major. It's gotta be you.

You stay low.

We'll come back and get you somehow after dark.

Yes Sir.

Let's go.

Happy landings Major.

-You okay. -Hurt my wrist.

Come on. Let's get outta here.

You'll have to drive Major. I can't handle the throttle.

-Okay. -Ignitions here.

Yeah, I saw that.

Listen. About leaving Doc back there. You may not be able to see him after dark.

I can bring him back now.

We can't run a shuttle service through the Germans Major.

I could go around the Germans, cross country.

You don't stand a chance.

Wait.

Don't stand a chance Major.

Climb on Doc.

I thought you said you couldn't ride one.

Well, I learned.

Well, what happened to the Germans? I didn't hear any shooting.

I came around them cross country, but I think we better take the road going back.

Yeah, we can't get through the fields with both of us on this thing. Come on.

-Yeah but... -Come on.

We'll tiptoe our way.

(German)

(German)

Let's get outta here.

I'll drive.

Okay Major.

No argument huh.

No argument.
