Just Old Time Radio presents Hop Harrigan in Crash Of Death Head 11/7/44
Aviation adventures as a genre seems odd to us now, and that's probably for a few simple reasons. First, many of the kids listening to such aviation adventures as The Air Adventures of Jimmy Allen, Captain Midnight, and Hop Harrigan had watched their first plane flying overhead as a singular, wondrous thing droning high above across the sky. WWI aces, flying barnstormers and air explorers like "Lucky Lindy" and Amelia Earhardt fired the imaginations of the 20's and 30's eras. Pylon racing, all but forgotten today, was as big as Nascar in some regions of America. Then, WWII had its civilian defense "plane spotter" awareness. But the jet took the human element out of flying, and the aviation adventure was quiet until we reached for "outer space."
