...R.A.F. and their U.S. and Empire allies looked strongest in the air. One day they knocked off 16 Stukas, eleven Messerschmitts and a lone Italian Macchi.

Listeners heard razor-edged remarks on Mutual's recent loss of The Lone Ranger (TIME, June 8), a casual, sometimes funny flow of gags about Mutual executives. ("Manager Fred Weber may be forced to wear 59? shirts.") Nothing quite like it had ever gone...
