Default victory at sea

Victory at Sea was a documentary TV series about naval warfare during World War II that was originally aired by NBC in the USA in 26 half-hour segments on Sunday afternoons, starting October 26, 1952 and ending May 3, 1953. The series, which won an Emmy in 1954 as best public affairs program, played a major role in establishing historic documentaries as a viable television genre. When it first aired, NBC thought it so important that it had no commercial breaks.

I was just a kid (7 years old) when that was on but I remember it well. We didn't get a TVuntil about 1955 or 56 but we had an open invitation to go over to the next door neighbor's and watch TV.

I loved that show and it probably instilled in me a love for the military and of history.

I remember watching that with my old man. He loved it. I have it on DVD.
