Those of us who work the evening shift wish to thank you.......perhaps PBS will re-run the episode sometime in the next 26 years. :?

Wouldn't you know it...I didn't see this post until after the show was over, and I'd wasted an hour watching brainless sitcoms on another network.

I watched it. It was a pretty good story.

A person wanted to get the story behind a B-24 pilots diary that his father had brought home from the war.

They managed to discover that the pilot's B-24 had gone missing a few days after the last entry.

They also interviewed a B-24 pilot that had flown with the missing man while sitting in Witchcraft. 8)

Finally they tracked down and returned the diary to the missing pilots surviving relatives.
