Fred,
I certainly did! Just as good as Burn's Civil War thing! I especially loved the naval gunnery scenes and Guadalcanal coverage. Nuffin' like a 40mm Bofors slamming out tracers. Few people know that the quad Bofors (or any Bofors) was water-cooled. Navy's favorite weapon when pounding the Japanese barges along the mangrove coasts of the Solomons, etc. The one thing they didn't convey was the indescribable sound they make, especially if you're behind the mount.
My brothers-in-law are Hamster graduates and knew Ken Burns well. He was an apothecary supply major---ar-ar-ar-ar-ar.
Kristen, put it right on the flippin' screen. How's that? Turns out I don't need it anyway.
