Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines - The Complete Series Review
"Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines" (1969) was a great TV show from Hanna-Barbera productions broadcast in France in 1970s as "L'escadrille infernale". This TV show follows the famous "Wacky Races" (1968) known as "Les fous du volant" in France. Dick Dastardly and Muttley (Satanas and Diabolo in French) are again together for new adventures! This time, they pursue a pigeon which carries important information! Which one? Nobody will ever know in my opinion, even the writers and producers of the TV show themselves! The general in charge of operations occurs only through a field telephone looking as any conventional ones! This field telephone must have a very very very long cable since it rings in any location (on earth and in the sky) at any time during the show! Dick Dastardly leads the Vulture Squadron, a World War I flying "exotic" machines! Exotic is quite close to the reality of the show! The main reason for their persistence in this task is the reward of a temporary 30 days all expenses paid in the country of their choice! Of course, the pigeon will not give them any opportunity to get this award.
This TV show features similar to screenwriting and situation comedy with the adventures of "Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote" known as "Bip Bip et le Coyote" in France! Maybe because Michael Maltese was influenced by the outstanding writing and directing work of Chuck Jones. But the stories of "Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines" are very innovative and fun anyway. The design of aircraft defies the laws of aerodynamics and mostly gravity! It's not very serious in the light of the length of telephone cable needed for the field telephone of Dick Dastardly. Muttley desperate to receive medals! He dreams to receive many! And when he gets one, Dick hastened to withdraw this tiny one. Of course, Muttley disagrees and shows his teeth like any good dog! That is the "standard" hard life of any good squadron leader I suppose during World War I!
The picture quality is good! The soundtrack and the subtitles are available in English, French and Spanish. Highly recommended!

I bought this from a store well over a year ago for a future birthday gift. When I gave if to the person the third disk was missing. Since it was over a year I purchased it, I did not keep the receipt. I emailed Warner but have not gotten any response. Does any one know how to get the third disk ?
