[Milsurplus] documentary question

[Thomas Adams]

I remember that one!

As it happens, I'm an engineer at Wisconsin Public Television.

It was his recollections from before his enlistment, thru his tour of duty
in the ETO, concluding with his rotation home at the end of the war & his
mustering out.

If I remember correctly, that program (multiple parts) came from Minnesota
Public Television...  so PBS wouldn't have a record of it. We would have
gotten it from a regional satellite feed.

Once again, I'm relying on memory...  but I believe the pilot's name was
Dale Halvorson, or something close to that.

Hope this puts you on a track to find the show.


73's,

Mr. T.   W9LBB
