Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About 12 O’clock High – The Movie, Book, and TV Series!

You cannot classify this book as a real history book or even a work of non-fiction or a novel but it is about a novel and a little about the actual war and also about a movie and a TV series. I can say this much, it is a hoot to read. It was fun and entertaining. “12 O’clock High Logbook” has lots of insider information and background on the whole “history” of that beloved TV series and so much more.

This well researched book has many great posters, photos and tons of trivia about the whole 12 O’clock phenomenon. A true fan of the old TV show could not ask for anything better. I remember watching episodes of the old TV series while in Vietnam on the old Armed Forces TV station along with old reruns of “Combat”. It was strange how enjoyable seeing these old shows where to those of us those were flying daily into our own combat missions.

If you are looking for something fun to read about WWII aviation exploits then this is your book! The author takes us through the whole history of 12 O’clock High from the original novel to the 1949 movie with Gregory Peck and eventually to the three year long TV series. This is good entertainment by any measurement—well worth buying and reading!
