OVERLOOKED TELEVISION: THE RAT PATROL

Remember those days when war was fun and the good guys always win?  When our soldiers were clean-cut and bathed.  Where each individual members of a team that the one quirk which defined them?  Ah, those were the glory days of WWII!  Especially in the hot sands of North Africa -- a North Africa peopled by friendly, unresentful natives.

From September  1966, here's the pilot episode of The Rat Patrol,  "The Chase of Fire Raid," staring Christopher George, Gary Raymond, Lawrence Casey, and Justin Tarr as the jeep-riding quartet who harass and pester German forces.  In this episode, they must find and destroy a buried fuel supply before the Germans get to it.

Enjoy.
