North Hollywood, CA, United States

Writer/associate producer Del Reisman describes his service as a bombardier during World War II:

"We started out, the tour was twenty-five missions and when I was flying my tenth or twelfth or something I came back and I was told, well the tour has been extended so you're going to fly thirty-five missions. I was not cheering about that, 'cause they were rough. But I found out later what the problem was: we were losing people, so they wanted to keep people a longer period of time.”

Watch Del Reisman's full interview, which spans his career from classic anthology series to Little House on the Prairie.
