Series writer Peter Arnett was an Associated Press reporter in Vietnam from 1962 to 1975. CBC aired only 18 of the episodes during the 1980-81 season because the series production was incomplete. The remaining episodes were broadcast during CBC’s 1981-82 season. British audiences saw the series during Channel 4’s 1984-85 season. Written by Elmer Gilman
