As a Baby Boomer growing up in the early 1960s and son of a World War II veteran, Combat! was must-see TV. I have fond memories of watching this black-and-white show on our Zenith television set. Combat! was my favorite show.

For a complete run-down and history on the show, check out the Combat! Wikipedia page here.

Tragically, Vic was killed while filming Twilight Zone: The Movie in 1982. A helicopter crashed on him (decapitation) and two child actors. Rick Jason served during World War II with the U.S. Army Air Corp from 1943-1945.
