The only “ethnic” who didn’t receive hanging as a sentence was Bravos, who was Hispanic.

I don't recall being privy to Pvt. Gardiner's specifics as the "object of the exercise" at the beginning.

I haven't read the source novel since about 1970, but there were substantive differences, as I recall.

Seeing the movie in the theatre as a child, despite the M rating, it was lost on me how controversial it was for depicting Americans committing egregious war crimes.

Oh, Sky landed the modern Cessna Songbird, not the AT-17 Bobcat (the Bamboo Bomber) on the aircraft carrier. Paul Mantz, Hollywood stunt pilot, owned the AT-17 and many other pilots flew it. I don't know if Mantz flew the Cessna 310. Kirby Grant was licensed to fly the Cessna 310, and but all accounts was a proficient pilot, but I suspect he didn't have the skill set needed to land on a carrier.

Out of the clear blue of the Western sky comes Sky King!

Thu Dec 5, 2019, 10:22 PM

he was a huge star for the Los Angeles Angels of the triple A Pacific Coast League in the early 50s. Believe that was a Cub from team.
If you remember how bad the Cubs were in the 50s that didn't speak well of Chuck Connors.

I read a history of the old PCL. One of the reasons that the majors moved west was because some of the stars of the old PCL were pulling in more money than the major league stars through endorsements etc. Some players even refused to go up to the majors.

I think most of my recollections are close to reality. Open for corrections

Fourteen Hours.................................................
is a 1951 film noir directed by Henry Hathaway, which tells the story of a New York City police officer trying to stop a despondent man from jumping to his death from the 15th floor of a hotel.

The film won critical acclaim for Richard Basehart, who portrayed the mentally disturbed man on the building ledge. Paul Douglas played the police officer, and a large supporting cast included Barbara Bel Geddes, Agnes Moorehead, Robert Keith, Debra Paget, and Howard Da Silva. It was the screen debut of Grace Kelly and Jeffrey Hunter, who appeared in small roles.[1]

Most of his hollow powers stem from the hollow, White, who infected his mom. The other bit comes from all Soul Reapers have to suppress their inner selves from being taken over.

Now, by the end of the series, Ichigo has a mastery of both his hollow and soul reaper powers. We have yet to know if Ichigo has any other Quincy powers.
