| Sole
Survivor
CBS’ first made-for-TV movie, Sole
Survivor is a fantasy yarn founded on
fact. In 1960, the ruins of an American
bomber were found in the Libyan desert...but
the remains of the crew were never located.
In Guerdon Trueblood’s teleplay,
the ghosts of a bomber crew hang around
their derelict plane, awaiting the day
that their bones will be recovered and
given a decent burial. The sole survivor,
navigator Russell Hamner (Richard Basehart),
has in the intervening 25 years become
a general. He joins an investigation team
that has come across the wreckage, while
the ghosts, headed by Major Devlin (Vince
Edwards), plot to expose Hamner as a coward
who deserted his post and left his crew
mates to die.
