Terry and the Pirates or was it called Flying Tigers on radio.
It was a WWII radio drama on Saturday mornings.
My aunt arranged tickets to the theater one Saturday.
I was very excited, but then baffled.
We sat in a big theater and there were some guys with a mike up front.
No airplanes, no ariel dogfights. I spent the whole time confused.
I do remember when Chicago TV signed onto the air and signed off. ('49-'50)
Kukla, Fran, and Ollie - Tom Corbett, Space Cadet - Howdy Doody Time
and a ton of Lone Ranger reels.
