For those old enough to remember, during the late 1950s there were adventure TV serials / cliffhangers broadcast on many stations.

One of my favorites was Bruce Gentry, always with cool airplabes.

Today after more than 60 tears (!!!) I found Bruce Gentry again, in Youtube:

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

Wow, that AT-11 sure had a big cabin, plenty of room to stand up in!

This is a new one to me, I always equated movie serials with the '30s, but this is clearly post war. Probably made by a smaller studio to go along with their "B" westerns, and like those westerns, found a second life on TV.


And speaking of '50s TV...
I'm currently watching Sky King on DVD, lots of T-50/UC-78 and 310 shots...not many "guest" airplanes, but there have been some interesting ones, early Bonanzas, a Lockheed 12 bomber prototype (N60775...modified by Lockheed for a potential Dutch order from an existing airline 12, owned after the war by Paul Mantz) with a faired-over turret, early Cessna 170, a very early Bell 47 with wheels...and I haven't gotten to the later one where he flies a Navy jet fighter.

I keep hoping for CBS to release Whirlybirds...

John,

After posting the cliffhanger message last night, I went back to Youtube and found episodes of "Winslow of the Navy" and had nice shots of biplanes being shot from battleship's catapults. Curtiss Seagull??

There was a Bruce Gentry episode that I remember, where they used a scale model of a bomber (AT-11??) That, on the episode, dropped "real" exploding bombs.

As for Whirlybirds, have you tried Acorn media? They sell DVDs of old serials and TV shows.
