Vic Morrow and Lisa Pera on the Combat! set.

Per Lynne Tremblay: For Jan. 1965, pic no. 11, it's most definitely Vic with Lisa Pera of CRY IN THE RUINS. He was probably giving her directions a scene.

Per Dodger: June 1965, Photo #1 and November 1965, Photo #54%. Both of these
photos are taken outside the main gate and entry to the chateau at Chaumont-sur-Loire in France. This location was used for background scenes in the episode "The Main Event". (Green Recruit and I visited this location and the Chenonceau location noted below three years ago.)

Per Dodger: June 1965, Photos # *2, 3% and 4%. These three photos show the location used in a scene in the episode "Evasion". They were taken on
the streets of the village of Chenonceau, which is about a half-mile from the chateau seen in that episode. In Photo *2 you can see the car `used' by Lloyd Bochner and Rick Jason in their escape, although this car was in France and neither actor was there.

Per Dodger: July 1965, Photos #1% and 5%. These are P-51 Mustang fighters that
were flown in the 1965 Los Angeles Air Races at Fox Field in Lancaster, California. Racer #2 is "Seattle Miss" and I can't
currently identify the other aircraft, Race 11? The Reno Air Races started in 1964 and two `Los Angeles' races were held at Fox Field in
1965 and 1966. Obviously, Earl Parker was a fan of air racing and took these photos at that event.

Per Dodger: July 1965, Photos 2%, 3%, 4% and November 1965, Photo #6%. These appear to be photos taken at Fox Field during the Los Angeles Air
Race. Photo 6% is a Formula race airplane, #94. This class of airplane still races every year at the Reno Air Races.

Per Dodger: July 1965, Photo #6%. Earl took this photo of a WWII era training
airplane, probably a Navy N3N `Yellow Peril' or a Stearman PT13/17 at some small airport. Note the railroad crossing gates just beyond the hangar.

I've found some info that Gary Conway (see pic 26 below) was in a pilot for a TV series to be called "Attack" around this time; this is the only production that he was in that fits this time period, so this might be that failed pilot (pics 3 to 53 below). Earl and Angelo De Meo must have been stuntmen on this, as well as performing a few other roles. If anyone has other ideas what this might be, please let me know.

T he cast of the local "Pirates of Penzance" community theatre production? :-)

Per Green Recruit: December 1965 pictures 1 to 4 are from the set of 'Mutiny on the Bounty,' the Marlon Brando version.
The Bounty was built on Lot # 2 at the waterfront location and can be seen in one
of Marty's aerial backlot photos. I remember Tom Lowell saying that they would go over and try to visit the set while on breaks from Combat! (obviously I'm talking about the 1962 version and not the original from
1935!) Earl Parker can be seen wearing his Combat! jacket while posing on the ship, in December 1965, picture two.
