3 parts, about 1/2 hour each. Goes way beyond the snippets we has seen and heard in documentaries.....from he first saw the Hood as a boy, his joining, the Spearfish Rescue operation, Mers-el-Kebir, Scharnhorst & Gneisenau patrols and of course Bismarck - about 70 % of the interview - then his later story...Sicily, the Korean War...etc.
Like McMullen's interview..for me.......absolutely riveting!
He literally takes you onto Hood's compass platform during the battle.....
