There were multiple writers of this show and Robert Lansing is so powerful in the the role of General Savage, it's not surprising that several episodes feature him directly fighting various enemies. Jack Turley was one of this episodes writers, and he also wrote the one where Savage is threatened by a Nazi sympathizer. But What makes this one special for me, are the performances of the costars, Frank Overton and John Larkin and how they beautifully demonstrate their relationship to Savage.. General Crowe has been a mentor to Savage, and he struggles with his desire to send Air-Sea Rescue to look for him, with his need to use all available forces for the next days raid. Major Stovall is the man closest to Savage has been instrumental in saving him in a previous episode, and in this one his appearance at. Wing is the force that pressures Crowe to extend the search.
He also had some dialogue that is very moving without being mawkish or sentimental. The weather needs to clear up in order to extend the search for Savage, and he says "I'd give all this brass and a year's pay for the weather to clear." Overton was a master at expressing strong emotion in a restrained, understated way.
