12 O'Clock High
On ABC
A mid-century military drama following bomber crews through WWII, balancing procedural mission structure with character-driven exploration of command, sacrifice, and the cost of war.
This series chronicles the adventures--in the air and on the ground--of the men of the 918th Bombardment Group of the U.S. Eighth Air Force. First commanded by irascible General Frank Savage--and later by Colonel Joe Gallagher, the son of a Pentagon General--the Group is stationed in England, and flies long-range bombing missions into German-held Europe.
