Twillie2 Posted January 1, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2017 When I was a kid I lived for shows like Combat!, and Once an Eagle was, to me they represented some of the ideals I had hoped to have when I grew up. Courage, Honesty, Candid. Cheesy, I know, but worth mentioning. R/ Twillie2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Driver Posted January 2, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2017 Much preferred the book "Once an Eagle". Anton Myrer the author Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCR79 Posted January 2, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2017 I agree that the book was better than the mini series - Anton Myrer was a WWII Marine - Other books were "The Last Convertible" and "Love and War" - I thought the books were better than the movies Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy53 Posted January 3, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 3, 2017 Concur. The mini series is good but, typical of any movie, uses a lot of license and ends at one dramatic point. The book is so much better. For me, after getting to know the main characters, the last chapter in the book is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
