Hey, look what I found on the 5 minutes to Live site, Sole Survivor.
CBS’ first made-for-TV movie, Sole Survivor is a fantasy yarn founded on fact. In 1960, the ruins of an American bomber were found in the Libyan desert...but the remains of the crew were never located. In Guerdon Trueblood’s teleplay, the ghosts of a bomber crew hang around their derelict plane, awaiting the day that their bones will be recovered and given a decent burial. The sole survivor, navigator Russell Hamner (Richard Basehart), has in the intervening 25 years become a general. He joins an investigation team that has come across the wreckage, while the ghosts, headed by Major Devlin (Vince Edwards), plot to expose Hamner as a coward who deserted his post and left his crew mates to die.
I saw this movie when it first aired.

Since then, the remains of most of the crew have been found.
I once attended a Contra the Contras Contra which raised money for the elected government.
I love this. Have you ever noticed how the other side just never seem that clever?

Sometime in the last few years, some more crewmembers were found....
"The Wild Bunch" has come out on DVD and thoughts turn, somehow, to Corwood Industries.

"The Wild Bunch" has come out on DVD and thoughts turn, somehow, to Corwood Industries.
Given that it's a re-release, I suspect Corwood's even more excited about the other Peckinpah westerns coming out at the same time (most for the first time on DVD, I think).
I AM! In fact, Ride the High Country is the greatest Western that is not The Wild Bunch, and it's about damn time it came out on DVD. I ordered mine last week.
