Saw it here Ian and I enjoyed it as a kid. Vic Morrow and a child actor were killed in an accident filming a scene for a movie version of Twilight Zone as I recall. As to Harvey, one of my favorite movies and Stewart a sometimes underestimated actor. Pleasure to meet you Mr Dowd.
Cheers

Chuck, That is a movie that has past me by or I have simply forgot about it. I like Stewarts movies, but a giant Rabbit! I suppose it will be a better movie the Francis the talking Mule. You have to see the movie, it's one of our favorites. Stewart is great and makes Harvey believable. It's my understanding they had a hard time casting an actual pooka at the time. As a long time D&D player pookas can be formidable, either as a friend or a foe. Welcome to our forum Elwood

Knew that they did share an apartment in their early years as actors, and were lifelong friends. Did not know about the model airplanes though. That would not surprise me about Stewart given the fact that he was an accomplished pilot, even before he entered the service. Another model airplane builder was Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona,whose collection of self built models is rumored to be in the hundreds, if not thousands. Maybe Steve knows where the collection is now? There was a fellow from my other life off this board, who recently passed away. He collected passenger ship models and his collection was into the hundreds. I am hoping that collection goes to a museum somewhere, such as the Merchant Marine Academy. There is a Jimmy Stewart classic on tonight at 1800 my time. Broken Arrow, followed by Fort Apache. Will watch both. You need to watch the entire "Thin Man Series" starring William Powell and Myrna Loy. Like Charlie Chan movies they are just fun. Dang, wish I had seen about the Stewart movies yesterday. I love the Thin Man Series as will Charlie Chan (even though they are probably no longer correct.)

The series itself looks like it was made on a tight budjet, each episode last around 50 minutes. I have checked a few out and the picture quiality is surprisingly good for an old movie file, maybe someone has up loaded them straight from a DVD box set or something. I noticed too, that the first couple of seasons start off in black and white and then the later ones revert to colour. It ran from 1962 to 1967, so as I said earlier, I don't remember this program being shown in the UK, as I can recall many of the sixties US shows, like the Invaders, Batman, Voyage to the bottom of the sea and lost in space. Ah those were the days!
An hour long show in the US would be about 50 minutes after you remove the commercials. I loved Combat-and Rat Patrol. Growing up it was like WWII was always on prime time TV.

Hello,
On reflection my views are quite conventional in relation to this battle, rather than create a distracting noise I'll bow out gracefully.
Respectfully Yours
Elwood.

Elwood, there are many who read the books and simply go along with what they say.
I would love to find out just how many took the easy way and just went with the conventional theory.
You may have just fallen into the trap. Just because they say that this and that happened, doesn't make it true.
I lay a lot of faith in what JSIT said and you won't find a more honest and detailed account anywhere on the Indian side.
Many authors miss out the amount of firing that took place along MTC and North of LSH. But there are maps showing cartridge finds which state that heavy firing took place on these locations.
If you want to keep to the conventional and go along with what some say about the command attacking at MTF and being forced uphill to their deaths then fine. But if this were true, then why would they fight an action on the opposite end of the ridge at BRE.
But at the end of the day it is up to you mate, you're your own man and can believe what you see fit, but ignoring evidence and accounts will leave you with only half of the story, but if you are happy with that then fine.

EPD
You may be right, give it some time, take anyone to task. I don't think anyone here is totally locked in as to how the move to Ford D was accomplished. For all I know the artifacts on BRE and the bodies across HWY 212 was an attempted breakout toward Terry.
If you leave, thanks for your visit and drop back anytime.
Regards, Tom

Mr. Dowd: Welcome aboard. There's some GOOD people here. Get ready to learn a BOATLOAD, (and not just about The Battle Of the Little Bighorn.) And you might just have a few notions turned on their heads.....Eagerly await your input, I'm sure it will be valuable.
Aloha, Duane
