==Radio and television== {{Main|Twelve O'Clock High (TV series)}} Gregory Peck repeated his role as General Savage on a ''[[Screen Guild Players]]'' radio broadcast on September 7, 1950.<ref name=tcmnotes/> ''Twelve O'Clock High'' later became a television series [[Twelve O'Clock High (TV series)|of the same name]] that premiered on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] network in 1964 and ran for three seasons. [[Robert Lansing (actor)|Robert Lansing]] played General Savage. At the end of the first season, Lansing was replaced by [[Paul Burke (actor)|Paul Burke]], who played Colonel Joseph Anson "Joe" Gallagher, a character loosely based on Ben Gately from the novel.<ref name="duff" >Duffin, Allan T. and Paul Matheis. ''The 12 O'Clock High Logbook''. Albany, Georgia: Bearmanor Media, 2005. {{ISBN|1-59393-033-X}}.</ref> Much of the combat footage seen in the film was reused in the television series. Many of the television show's ground scenes were filmed at the [[Chino, California]], airport, which had been used for training Army pilots during the war, and where a replica of a control tower, typical of the type seen at an 8th Air Force airfield in England, was built. The airfield itself was used in the immediate postwar period as a dump for soon-to-be-scrapped fighters and bombers, and was used for the penultimate scene in ''[[The Best Years of Our Lives]]'' when Dana Andrews relives his wartime experiences and goes on to rebuild his life.<ref>Orriss, Bruce.
