History EN ↓ 62 episodes

The life of a military pilot and family man on assignment in South Korea in the early sixties was no walk in the park. While he was there, our father wrote to our mother nearly every day. Join my brother and me as we read and talk about those letters full of military life in Osan, and love and longing for family back home. Each episode contains a little more of his adventure beginning in August 1961.
