...Saturday, Frankfurt instructed Flight 1231, still waiting in Ankara: "Fly back to Cologne. This is an order from the Interior Minister." The commandos returned to West Germany and left again a day later on another 707, code-named Uniform Bravo. This time they flew to Crete to await further orders...
Meanwhile, the German 707 with the second contingent of G.S.G. 9 men aboard took off from Crete. "This is Uniform Bravo, airborne over Egyptian territory," the captain told Frankfurt.

Most of the prisoners would survive...
...Carter Country, a rural police station in the Deep South comes up looking like a country-fried version of Barney Miller stuffed with crackers. ("Would you press my dress uniform?" one redneck cop asks a policewoman. "I don't do sheets," she answers.) In its other entries, ABC takes to the sea: The San Pedro Beach Bums are five California boys on a rundown boat; Operation Petticoat, based on the old Gary Grant flick, unites a crew of sailors on a pink submarine and a contingent of bosomy nurses-war is swell, apparently. And in The Love Boat, Gavin...
