One of the best episodes from the entire series yet oddly underrated.
Another episode that takes a look at changing events of the past to change the future. In this case however instead of going back in time to prevent a bad outcome our main character Lieutenant Terry Decker goes back to make sure good things happen. He lands in America in 1959 to find his old buddy from World War I will be arriving soon and was a big hero during the Blitz in World War II . It's all very confusing to Decker but the Americans in the Air Force fill him in and he comes to believe he must get back there to save his friend or he won't arrive at the base . Decker was sure his friend didn't make it because Decker himself tried to avoid real battle. Decker however does make it back and when the General arrives they question him he backs up Decker's sudden reappearance before the Germans got him. His effects were never returned but they show the General Decker's effects. One of the most interesting parts about this one is how Decker confesses to being a coward but in the end is more afraid of failing his friend and country and finds the courage to go back. That's often how we overcome fear it's suddenly less frightening to face something we have feared than letting a chance go by. Another well woven story.
