Death and danger on the ground

Going to London is just as dangerous as flying a mission for General Savage. He's caught in a bombing, and can't remember what happened, but was seen with a woman who was murdered that night. Being an honorable officer, he tries to trace his actions that night to learn the truth, no matter how painful it might be. The original story was by Edmund North, the only one he wrote. But it was apparently reworked by Charles Larson, associate producer of26 episodes. I think that accounts for the strong roles of Doc Kaiser, and particularly Major Stovall.

He is always a strong support for the General, and in this episode his skills as a lawyer lead him to question a policeman's actions, and literally save the General life. There will be 2 more episodes where Stovalls actions save the General.
