I've just watched a most excellent documentary about Robin Olds and his mischief in Vietnam. What a genius! What a great leader of men.

Hi
Seen him in a few documentaries and read his book, truly a one off. Can I ask what the documentary was called is it still available.
Cheers

It was on Channel 5 and the series is called Heroes of The Skies.
If you're not in the UK I don't know if you'll be able to watch the program online or not. You might need to use a UK proxy to get around that one.... but it'll need to be one with good speed.
I'm just hoping they release the whole series on DVD 'cos I know I'd buy them. They've been excellent thusfar, yesterdays was the first non-WWII episode.

Good ol' Col Robin Olds!
After Operation Bolo the media was interviewing him and asked about the operation's success, Olds' response was short and sweet:
"The Migs came up. We Tangled. They lost"
