The USS Enterprise is apparently the victim of a Black Hole, which term has not yet been coined. As a result, they are thrown back to 1960's Earth, where the ship is perceived as a dangerous UFO. In the process of escaping, they beam aboard the pilot of an Air Force plane in order to save his life. From here it gets quite interesting, because altering the slightest circumstance can change the course of history- a lesson repeated later in the season in another episode. After some research, it is determined that the Air Force captain must be returned to Earth so he can father the first Commander to travel to Jupiter, without whom Starfleet will not exist. And so forth. The female computer gag seems very dated, as does the Air Force Captain oogling the women aboard, but that is part of the old fashioned charm.The episode overall is quite well done, and of course Spock saves the day in the end. But you knew that!
