BACKGROUND

Piloted by Steve Zodiac, Fireball XL5 was the flagship of the World Space Patrol.
Assigned to protect Sector 25 of the Solar System from alien invaders and make
contact with new races.It had a great theme tune on the closing credits as well! 

This was the Anderson series that propelled his Supermarionation creations into the
mainstream. Hugely popular in it's day, it was the only Anderson production to date
that was fully networked on the USA NBC channel in 1963.
