    34 x 30 minute episodes

    Colonel Steve Canyon (Dean Fredericks) was originally a globe-hopping pilot and troubleshooter for the US Air Force, working on all manner of exciting and perilous assignments and investigations.

    Around halfway through the series, he became the commander of the (fictitious) Big Thunder Air Force Base – though still managed to find himself mixed up with robberies, hijackings, kidnappings, blackmail, assassination plots, murder and nazi war criminals.

    The series was made with the full cooperation of the USAF and an unheard of (at the time) production budget of $1.6million.

    Steve Canyon aired on NBC between 13 September 1958 and 8 September 1959, with Chesterfield cigarettes as the sponsor.
