While not perfect, it's pretty decent.

The Germans have done something nasty...something they actually didn't do in the war. To protect their budding nuclear program, the building and scientists are housed right next to prisoner of raw camps housing the top captured Allied officers. This means they have to destroy the building without collateral damage...a near impossibility. So, to try to kill the scientists without the POWs, the plan is to send in a small bomber (a B-25) to fly in solo as B-17s fly overhead to distract the Germans.

The man chosen for the mission is Colonel Connelly (James Whitmore), a war hero and expert at this sort of thing. The problem is that although he's experienced and should be able to do it, he's just too damaged by the war and his mental health is clearly questionable. What's next? See the show.

This is a decent episode...following three poor ones. Nothing great here, but it is entertaining and nice to see a B-25 in the show.
