  That show helped steer me to Marine aviation... my old squadron was led by Pappy Boyington back in 1942.

  I used to watch that. I remember Peter Frampton was a guest star in one episode.
  
  I even bought a model of an F4U Corsair.

  Sorry, but he never earned that title or the respect with which it was given. He was a damn goodd actor playing the part of a Marine Icon and nothing more.

  RIP, I loved the Wild, Wild West also. According to this 1994 Larry King Interview Robert did not enjoy acting in them though.
