Wondering how lost people were this episode if they haven't seen The Great Escape, but now's your chance. You're in for a great, then depressing, then great time, not to mention James Coburn's 'Australian' accent.

#fun fact: James Garner's character was supposedly based on Nat Leamen #Jewish RAF flier and basically one man escapist artist #it's also a fact that after the Great Escape the SS and Gestapo did move into the stalags and demanded the Jewish airmen be held apart #Mel Brooks' brother was shot down over Germany and tossed his dog tags to stay alive #Masters of the Air
