This fact-based series goes beyond the military history books and presents the most compelling personal accounts of war as seen through the eyes of those closest to the action, the rank-and-file soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen. Episode 7: On April 2, 1972 an American combat jet, call sign Bat 21, was blown apart by a North Vietnamese missile. Of the six men on that plane, just one survived, the navigator, Lt. Col. Iceal "Gene" Hambleton.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Barebones DVD and a fairly decent show March 17, 2008
First off, this DVD contains absolutely no extras. Toss it in the player and the show starts. It has no menu, no audio options, and no subtitles, just the show. I just bought this single episode, and was a bit surprised that there was not even a menu.
I bought this episode because I was interested to get a bit more information about Iceal "Gene" Hambleton, or Bat-21. I had just read Bat-21, by William Charles Anderson. The show actually doesn't involve Gene very much. It's mostly about the decision making process that the military went through in order to rescue Bat-21 and the other downed pilots in the area.
It seems to be a pretty good overview of the rescue from everyone's perspective except Gene's. He had passed away by the time this show ran in 2006, but I was still somewhat disappointed that there was not more information from and about him.
