- Twelve O'Clock High is an American drama series set in World War II. This TV series originally broadcast on ABC-TV for two-and-one-half TV seasons from September 18, 1964, through January 13, 1967; was based on the motion picture Twelve O'Clock High (1949).
so cool the flash backs....I had 12 O'clock High Lunch box lol.....!
I agree. Takes me back to childhood and the characters that i still admire!
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and care to download these precious episodes of TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH. I was eleven years old when I watched these when they first aired. Robert Lansing as Commander Savage was amazing. What an underrated talent! The show was exciting and compelling drama. I was hooked! It was the high point of my week and I lived to watch this. Couldn't wait for Friday nights on ABC. The memories are very dear. To be
a kid again. You are golden in my book friend. Well done.
Was just a boy when they came out,am 65 now.
I remember watching this series as a kid w/my father who was a wwII airforce vet.
He used to point out to me all the mistakes like other vets do watching.
But each week he never missed an episode.
Prior to 1947, your dad would have been an USAAF veteran. The 'airforce' was Unite States Army Air Corps, then United States Army Air Forces. United States Air Force was the name after September 18, 1947.

this is good my favorite show when I was a kid
Great special effects in this episode
Amazing rubber raft..bullets do not deflate it!!!
Lmao. They don't make em like that anymore
Lots of critics for a TV show that's almost 60 years old.
True enough! And friends, too.
OMG, why is it always number 3 engine that dies???? Every episode it's number 3 engine.
Well... feather 3!
My guess is that there is very limited actual combat footage of B17s in WWII and it's one of the few scenes of an engine shutting down in flight that exists. If you watch just about all of the episodes you will see the same key pieces of historic footage used multiple times, like the B17 belly landing, spinning around and exploding. There is one port photographed being bombed multiple times, and the same B17s get shot down over and over. It's not like today, where most people have a video camera on their phone. Taking movies in that era was not easy. Very little of it was color, and the speed (ISO) of the film was very slow, like ISO 10 for Kodachrome, which was introduced by Kodak in 1937, so it could really only be used in bright sunlight. Movie cameras were pretty much windup affairs that could hold less than 5 minutes of film, which had to be carefully changed to prevent overexposing it. I'm guessing most combat images came from gun cameras, and the few combat photographers who flew along with crews, but certainly not all that often. There may be only a total of a couple of hours of footage in existence of B17s in combat in the European war.
Hydronic lock...can't fly on 3 engines with no bombs? Sounds like a piper apache...
A U-boat would not waste torpedoes on a fishing boat, they would surface and use their deck guns maybe giving the crew time to evacuate since it was not a warship.
u boat captain might think fishing boat has weapons of mass destruction onboard.
In this episode, they could not afford to give the fishing boat time to use its radio by surfacing.
torpedoes for a fishing boat. lol, and TWO of them as well.
My thought exactly besides the fact that the torpedoes very likely would have run too deep to have hit the damn thing to begin with. Any sub commander in any Navy would have been Bust Down to lieutenant for using Torpedoes on such an unworthy Target. Anti-aircraft weapons or the deck gun would have been the weapons of choice of any half wit submarine captain.
He was fishing in a restricted area, no doubt!
Yeah, I thought so too!
Because resources were not in great supply for the Germans, I think that sub commander would have surfaced and used his deck gun on that fishing boat, most likely after signaling the fishing boat crew to depart via lifeboat. The destroyer was no where in sight at the time so using the deck gun would have saved his torpedoes for "bigger fish". Just my 2 cents worth. Enjoy the show and just overlook the numerous errors.
i see your from no dak land? i live near minrot!
Check it out 23:08 to 23:25. There looked to be two different US submarine classes on show here and not German U-boats, especially with the sailor uniforms on show as well. The Atlantic U-Boat sailor wore a dark uniform - like those who landed on the beach. Also the flag unfurl at 23:25 appeared to be the good old stars and strips and not the Swastika that it should be. Anyway, I realise they are just fill in shots and I guess getting the right footage was quite a task at the time. Great show though and well written. Thanks for the upload. These sixties shows are better than the rubbish that's on these days!
So what?
Ever been on a U-Boat? Take them to their room to freshen up!? Escape a ditched bomber but end up dry in a life raft? This episode certainly could have used some help on the technical end. Try to hit a fishing boat with a torpedo! Ugh...
What a guy! Gets shot down, stranded on a deserted island, gets captured by Germans in a u boat, warns destroyer of the sub, goes back to air base and coordinate and leads a successful bombing mission. This colonel does it all. John Wayne couldn't have done better.
"Well, a haw, haw, haw, pilgrim...if it was me I would have blown up the whole German Navy!" Lol...just kidding...
Yeah, the usual believable scenario. Surprised he didn't sprout wings and fly home.
"Escort them to a cabin?"....on a WW2 submarine?
I. Watch this. Show a long. Time ago
I'm getting lung cancer just watching this series.
No aircrew would ever smoke let alone be allowed to smoke. 100 octane fuel leaks are dangerous in confined spaces.
That's the same island he washed ashore on in a previous episode.
@@Absaalookemensch Well they did it regardless, firsthand accounts speak of occasional bogie breaks, pull mask aside for a drag, higher altitudes would be lower risk with lower oxygen, just not so low as to go under in 1, 2 minutes, also when you think about it, take a drag, exhale and breathe from your mask again briefly, likely how they did it, risky in some regards but it keeps them more awake and less on edge
@@adamscott7354 Take a breath from your OXYGEN mask?
Think about that for a moment.
@@Absaalookemensch The masks feed them additional oxygen needed for higher altitudes, yes, listen man, they built ashtrays into the damn things, so they clearly knew how to get around the risk, but no doubt some foulups happened before this was worked out to a safest way to do it
@@adamscott7354 I never knew they had ashtrays.
Thanks, that's something I need to look up.
Periscope is not in the control room its in a deck above by itself mistake in all WWII shows, u-boat captain and crew would have been bearded to save on fresh water.
I think it's unlikely that an U-Boat captain would waste two torpedoes to sink a small fishing boat.
Exactly. If he even wanted to sink it he would have surfaced and used the deck gun. Maybe even boarded first .
My guess - would be that using the deck gun would have required more time from the show - and the clip they had of the torpedoes - had two in it. So - the factors that determined the U-Boat's Skippers actions were those of the writers.
.
I guarantee that no German sub would engage an enemy destroyer especially in shallow waters.
Nowhere to dive, run away to, which is the subs element, to go down, good point
This whole episode is pure nonsense!
Are you saying this is fiction?
They hit the sub...great job!
RIP Dominic Frontiere
Star Trek music in the background
Rat Patrol music.
ok I'll join the fun, Star Trek borrowed a d g fsharp d g d a from Twelve o'clock high for their theme music
Hard right...2 torpedoes past the destroyer on the right as they turned to port!
Turn to port to avoid the torpedoes!
There are no cabins on a U-Boat and 2 torpedo's used on a fishing boat??? The men of the Kriegsmarine were not savages!
Yes they were! There was a standing order to kill Survivors that was straight from Hitler!
@@earlcollinsworth4914 Yes Hitler wanted that order carried out, but U-Boat commander Admiral Karl Donitz flatly rejected it! There is only ONE documented incident where a German U-Boat attacked survivors! There is also incidents where British and American submarines attacked survivors!
@@benadam7753 You're right about that! Neither did Rommel obey that order either!
Interesting that this series doesn't have the same Director twice . Always different
Just for reference. Why some sailors, deck hands, wore black dixie cup hats. The standard white ones got dirty real easy, no good for a propper use in inspections. So, the hats got washed with dungarees so they turnd blue, or they were stained black, to hide dirt, grease and such. They were not officially authorized by regulations, but were allowed for work use by most shipboard commanders for practical reasons.
Yeah sure. Two torpedoes for a boat they could have sunk with 1 round from the deck gun?

Bullshit...decoding specialist first class
Why equip with flares that can get wet and not operate? Why was the water and rations not secured in survival kits? I guess they were LUCKY to have a large life raft.
4:02 Carl Schell 81927-2019) was a Swizz actor and a family member of the so called SCHELL - CLAN several influential actors, directors and producers of the same family
Fun Fact for the British/American Science Fiction show SPACE 1999 Catherine Schell was originally cast because she was thought to be a member of this in Europe very influential family in the Art Scene.
But in fact the actress of American -Hungarian decendence is not related to them
It might had been the producers of Space 1999 had hoped to get this way some government funding from European Culture fonds.
Was he on blue max?
Geese lookout on that destroyed must have been asleep.
42:07 He's dead, Jim.
20:30, This is the first G model I've seen in the series.
The usual unbelievable stuff.
Besides making the fatal Lansing-Burke switch, the writers in season 2 either became lazy or ran out of ideas. Every show begins with an air scene, there are a ton of soap-opera-like scripts with airmen who are half crazy, disobey orders and do reckless things during combat, only to get a slap on the wrist at most. And Col. Gallagher is allowed to keep flying and commanding his group even though on nearly every mission he's either wounded or shot down. Sure, even the greatest pilots were hit, but not on every mission!
The first year was far better in many ways. I never saw it back in the day and am watching it right through. In addition, I'm sure others have mentioned that the Nazi sub would never have wasted torpedoes on that fishing boat. A machine gun would likely have done the job, or a deck gun at the very most.
Break...1530 hours...I will be there...
That sportfishing boat looks like the Betty O.
That Sub was equiped with a snorkel so the engines could run submerged to a shallow depth.
Same island general Savage was on in season 1 16:50 16:57
Just a few points: The start showed a British sergeant surely it would be MPs and the officer stating to Gallagher about "His Rangers" Surely it would have been a ranger officer with ranger shoulder flash
They can hear deck guns but not small arms...huh?wasn't that a deck gun firing at them!
No it was a twin mount Machine gun
@@robertpayne2717 these shows are absurd...funny to watch Savage pretend to be an Air Army General in WW2...he actually was a Robin williams good morning Vietnam type army dj after ww2 in Osaka Japan...seems believable but so do tom cruise as a navy jag officer and sean Penn and michael j fox as army infantry in Vietnam...all hopeless and effeminate in real life!
It's a twin mounted Vickers gas operated aircraft machine gun...needed for max firepower against attacking german messerschmitts... the submarine was firing at the raft...like Hollywood you sounded impressive Robert Payne...let's keep America Stupid...like Trump and his right wing radio and tv spooges.
Not likely a U-boat would have wasted 2 torpedoes on a fishing boat. That's the whole reason they have deck guns.
sgt miller is yul brynner. no credit on imdb
Dunkirk rescue would have failed if u boats had attacked like they did in this show!
That movie "Dunkirk"...viva le Francois...stood and fought the Germans while the english ran away!...the washout dandy Anthony Powell could have played a yellow limey!
What kind of Squid says hard 'right'? That was no Destroyer, either.
The US and German navies, that's who said "hard right" at the time of this story! Other navies may still have been using the older "hard aport" -- which does not mean turn to port (the left side of the ship), but to put the tiller to port (or move the wheel to have the same effect) which turns the ship right. At least that was the case during the interwar period, as described by "The New International Encyclopædia, Volume 11" of 1922, in the entry on pg 121 in their entry on "Helm". (Complete text is on Google Books.)
A quick search will yield a lot of "hard right" usage in USN documents, such as the "Naval Institute Proceedings, Volume 86" of 1960, pg 135, "Collision -- or near miss?", describing collision avoidance techniques: "... I recommend that you put the rudder hard right and go ahead flank."
Or the March 1950 "All Hands", pg 35, "Hand-to-Hand Battle Wins Buckley NUC" describing a May 1944 action in the sea-lane approaches to the Mediterranean: "Alongside the U-66, Buckley gave a hard right rudder and rode up on the target."
Or "Skill in the Surf: A Landing Boat Manual" from 1945, Chapter VI, "The Coxswain Takes Over", pg 40 describing the procedure for docking or coming alongside a transport: "Hard right rudder brings the boat parallel to the dock and gunning the starboard engine in reverse swings in the stern."
It is a common misconception that "port" and "starboard" replace "left" and "right" at sea. Both sets of terms have their appropriate use.
MrUhwoody I got that too and I’m Army.
QuasiRandomViewer I did not know that. But I was U.S. Army, what do I know?
Port and starboard are in relationship to the vessel. Left and right are in relationship to the body or, in certain circumstances, the compass. The ship has a starboard side and the human body has a right hand. Add to this confusion the fact that, during WWII, most of the coastal patrol duties, such as what is shown here, were performed by newly activated Coast Guard cutters with mostly new reservists. I have been in such circumstances with green personnel and the noisiness of open air stations. One chooses the wording of orders careful so as to be understood the first time, without confusion. For instance, we never used the word "right" to mean "correct." I would have issued the same order as the captain of the destroyer. I think this was a USS Buckley class (DE-51), destroyer escort.
QuasiRandomViewer well done...very well done...myself 1978 - 1982 x Merchant Marine/CoastGaurd 500t Capt. [oil&mineral] off shore supply vessels...I guess all your marine talk got me nostalgic lol, But I digress ~So as I noticed someone else stated that using the “proper terms” are a serious issue! And they are! God Speed -n- Peace Out
Sub's diesel engines running while submerged?.....(hmm.)
Yes that is a hoot. LOL
The destroyer could hear the deck gun ...isn't that what they were firing?
First of all, an American Navy destroyer would NOT be operating in this area. British, yes, Americans, no. They were too busy on convoy duty. Sadly, the scripts and storyline of this series went downhill after they killed off General Frank Savage. IMHO.
Bombs always seem to be landing in cow pastures...same pilots as on d day!
John Rogan There were many cow pastures back then. 😆🤣😂
Great movie but last part he dies
Colonel Joe is going to fly the mission after no sleep in the past 24 hours?
Sandy...people like foul balls
..they do?
T w o torpedoes ?
... and then "S U" wasn't enough for a guy who's job it is to look for submarines especially ???? I'm behaving like an armchair quarterback . . . with a Little ojt in the field.
pjzdreamz and the captain of the ship was the first one, not any of the the dozen or so lookouts on deck or aloft, to see the torpedos from INside the bridge enclosure ? .... I know. Shut up and enjoy the show.
Two torpedos for an itty bitty trawler . . . Did anyone with experiwence ever proof these scripts ?
The deck gun would have been a lot cheaper, save the torpedoes for larger ships.
@@jmstowe That's the tactic the Q-ships hoped for.
they can't all be good episodes. Pretty much like a 60's TV Batman script.
Yeah, but Batman was on purpose!
This shows the Germans treating prisoners in a very decent way. Yet in the combat tv show germans were very different.
You missed the point. He treated them decently so that they should not suspect they were being used as a decoy and would continue to call for the closest rescue ship. As Gallagher said, "He's a civilized Nazi killer."
Listen to your uncle...lassie!
Could they not find someone with a better 'Scottish' accent. God, she's just as bad. Doubtful if the me109 (or FW190) would be attacking a plane there due to lack of range.
Thank you. Interesting point.
I wonder ifvthey borrowed the submarine from the batman movie😅
Sub wouldn't waste torpedoes on a fishing boat. Surface and use deck gun.
Doesn't the destroyer have sonar/radar?
KAMANSKY BACK in The COCK PIT with Joe Gallagher AGAIN 44:28
The captain was a excuse for a officer.
Why do you say that?
Signaling with a cigarette case...s...u...its a sub...come on...total bs...guess waving his arms was a signal to leave too...????
What the hell else would SU mean? He isn't making S.O.S signal, in wartime and at sea, likely the first thing you'll think of at those two letters, and yes, flashy things can be used to visually signal Morse Code a doi
Duty calls and the pilot is kissing a woman ?

Who was the voice over guy at the beginning and why did he say "episoduh". It's too exacting of a way to pronounce it.
Paul Gharett Quinn Martin’s Voice Over Announcer is Dick Wesson. He did voice over for QM’s The New Breed,The Fugitive,This Show,& The Invaders my favorite out of all of them.

Anything else wrong with this TV show?
