Several years ago I watched an episode of the Baa Baa Black Sheep Squadron TV show with Robert Conrad who starred as Pappy Boyington and the title of the episode was "Hot Shot" with Frank Converse who was playing the Army Air Forces top Ace and it had 2 P-38 Lightnings in the episode which I recorded on video tape. The video tape quality is only very good and I would love to find the episode in DVD if it's possible and even if I have to purchase a boxed set of the TV series to be able to have the episode.
As you're into P-38s, have you seen/got the "Battle Stations" dvd on the Lightning? It's a British tv production but US compatible versions might have been made for sale in the US market. Lots of great archive footage.
There are a lot of DVD's produced in Europe that are a different format than we use here. However, when DVD shopping you can look for multi-format units that will play DVD's from other countries. Not that much difference in price and definitely the way to go!
It was one of my favorites growing up! We all enjoyed the shows beginning with the rhyme 'Ba Ba Black sheep" and the air raid siren..I need to get the DVD set and watch them all again!
I used to love watching Black Sheep with my Dad. He was a WWII Pacific army infantryman with no love for the Marines. He'd sit and watch it every week grumbling and grousing about the Marine Corps and how cushy the flying services had it with comfy barracks, booze and nurses to come back to every day. But each week, he'd turn it back on.
I always watched with my Grandparents. Grandpa was an Army Infantryman in the PTO early on and he loved the show! I own it on dvd for the memories and the entertainment. I agree about not debating the accuracy, it entertained and it got a lot of us into collecting, so it did its job. Thanks for the memories Robert Conrad, say hello to the real Pappy! Scott
I use to love the show, I remember watching it, my dad walked in the living room stood about three minutes watching. Started laughing and said. What a bunch of horse S@$T turned and walked away. I was so mad because I thought it was the best show on TV. Now that I look back I understand why he laughed. Actually he said that alot about war movies.
That's right, we had the best TV shows back in day. Compared to the crap on now. There was even a Vietnam series, played a rolling Stones song sympathy for the devil for opening credits. I thought it was a great show
That was "Tour of Duty" and the song was "Paint It Black". I enjoyed that series. I have it on DVD but the they wouldn't pay the royalties for "Paint It Black" to be on the DVDs so it does not have the song on them.
That's right paint it Black, my old neighborhood was mostly German Irish decent, my hung out in a bar that had lots of German guys in there. And when Hogan's heroes came on they got mad and said that's not the way it was. My dad and his friends would laugh.
I've been a black sheep. I've recruited, trained and fostered black sheep. I've also recruited, trained and fostered, um, white sheep? You know -- company men or women who toe the line, do what they're told, and do it very, very well. No organization can survive without both.
Too many drones who do what they're told without disruption or complaint and you have a profitable six sigma-certified business that runs smoothly until it's obliterated by the competition. Too many black sheep with unbridled innovation and you have anarchy, like 1998 in Silicon Valley where any Stanford dropout could receive $100 million in seed money, a ping pong table and zero expectations for providing a sustainable, profitable business model! But in the real world, there needs to be a tension between keeping the trains running on time, and, if I may belabor the metaphor, developing new transportation systems.
This is not easy to do. Black sheep excel as individual contributors, and they thrive on breaking rules and flouting convention. Not only are they repelled by the typical staid corporate environment, most corporate environments reject them like mismatched organ transplants. Managers and leaders, even those with a little bit of black sheep in their own DNA, often lose these disruptor instincts as they become more adept at navigating the boardroom where, as often as not, you'll find even senior executives who value collaboration and fostering a sense of unity over achieving the optimal business outcome.
One classic American dream is the innovator who's rejected time and again by the establishment but in the end makes it big doing it his way. But there are more Tuckers than Michael Dells -- Tucker's automobile innovations were ahead of their time; Dell founded the eponymous computer firm in his college dorm room. Not every black sheep generates innovation on the scale of Steve Jobs. Also, innovation happens more often on a small scale than on a large scale. Of course dramatic breakthroughs happen, but sometimes successful innovation occurs incrementally (so sayeth Seth Godin). Every business on the planet needs to find ways to improve its widgets, which isn't the sexy stuff of movies.
For black sheep who wish to lead, the challenge lies in adapting, but without losing the desire and instinct to confront the status quo. It's hard to know when you've arrived. There are many good resources discussing the challenge of adapting one's style, including Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or Goleman's work on Emotional Intelligence, or DuBrin's Your Own Worst Enemy, or HBR's The Young and the Clueless. They all speak to the need to evolve, to play the game, to develop a more collaborative style, because you can't drive change from within if you can't get in.
Some of us have a style which allows, even encourages, confrontation because it's often an effective path to getting multiple views on the table, from which the optimal business outcome can be determined, regardless of who originated the ideas. It's not the confrontation per se that's desirable, but the good ideas that flow when colleagues have the freedom to speak openly. You may not like my idea, and you'll illustrate all the reasons why your idea is better, but I understand this doesn't mean you don't like me. And once the debate concludes, we head to the bar to celebrate with our colleagues after a hard day's work. But some don't.
In many corporate boardrooms, and in many law firm boardrooms, there is a strong aversion to disruption, to confrontation, so after a tough session some will feel bruised, upset and confounded by the team's inability to get along -- forgetting that the team may have actually achieved the desired optimal business outcome. Could the same outcome have been achieved by less confrontational means? Undoubtedly. Would it have taken longer? Who knows. But there are different styles and without intensive regression testing in parallel universes, I'm not sure we'll ever determine if there is a best style.
Black sheep should be cherished, when they have the ability to constructively disrupt and innovate. Never-deviate-from-the-norm types should be cherished for their ability to execute today. The best organizations, and the best leaders, embrace multiple styles and encourage different approaches to achieve optimal business outcomes.
McClory's atempt made me curious and to be honest I was secretly hoping that he succeded to bring out a alternative Bondfilm. That could have been a good thing for the Bond franchise cause that would have put pressure on EON to make a even better films, and also filled the gap 89-95.
As I understand it (and I admit that I don't understand it other than in the most passing and layman's terms), the second assertion is questionable, while the first.... well, I confess that I hadn't even heard it before - are you saying that, without McClory, Fleming would not have written CASINO ROYALE?
And this whole "black sheep" discussion is nonsense.
As other Bond luminaries, including our own Mister Asterix, have pointed out in the past - McClory and Feldman had the cinematic rights to do their Bond films.
No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Calling them "Unofficial" or "Rogue" is totally incorrect.
These weren't bootleg or fan films or anything that "Unofficial" or "Rogue" or "Black Sheep" imply.
If for some wacky reason JK Rowling sold the rights to the final Harry Potter book to me and I made a film of it starring puppets - it wouldn't be "unofficial" just because it wasn't made by the same crew that had Daniel Radcliffe, et. al.
As for CR'67 affecting YOLT's twice's boxoffice, well Broccoli said that many people thought that CR'67 was the "real" Bond movie as it was released two months before YOLT. Considering the fact that YOLT had a big dropoff from Thunderball and CR was the third biggest hit of the year (YOLT was the second) I don't find it hard to believe.
