Vintage original script from the 1950's USAF/aviation-themed adventure television series, FLIGHT, produced by McCadden Productions, executive produced by Al Simon, and produced by Robert Stillman. It is from Season 1, Episode 34, which was entitled Three Men, written by Leonard Heideman and dated March 18, 1959. It consists of 31 pages on off-white stock (plus the title page and the following CAST/SETS page) which were 3-hole punched and bound with two brass brads without any outer covers. It is most likely incomplete judging by the last line of dialogue on the last page (as there is nothing that indicates "THE END," as is usually customary). It is in overall fine+ condition with two light vertical creases across all of the pages; signs of toning on the title page, the CAST/SETS page, and the first 2 pages of the story itself; an area of wear and paper loss on the top center of the title page; a 2 in. diagonal crease with signs of wear on the bottom right corner of the last page; and random tiny nicks on some of the edges.

Included with this script is a small REQUISITION FOR PRINTED FORM - Comption [CA] High School, with "Three Men" handwritten on the verso, which indicates that this script somehow ended-up in the school's holdings.

Flight was an American television anthology series that aired in syndication from 1958 to 1959. Tthe show was an anthology featuring the importance of aviation. Frequently war stories, it also dealt with the practical uses of civilian air, as in severe weather conditions. The series originally aired for one season, with 38 half-hour episodes produced. It was created with the assistance of the United States Air Force and featured retired General George C. Kenney, who served as the host and opening narrator. This series was shown at a time when the military was in a positive light. Between WWII and the Cold War, Americans relied on and trusted the military without question. A lot of military-related series were on TV in those days: The Silent Service, West Point, Annapolis Story, and Navy Log for 'factual' stories, and then there was Steve Canyon for the contemporary Air Force. 

 

Al Simon also produced the 1957-58 anthology series, Panic!, The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and Mr. Ed. Robert Stillman was also associate producer of the television series, The Adventures of Hiram Holiday (1956-57).
