AlbakiReads Editorial

Captain Midnight’s postwar radio adventures, documented

Leonard Zane’s book summarizes more than 800 broadcasts from the postwar years of the Captain Midnight radio series. The source describes the programs as blending 1940s high-technology advances with high adventure, including aviation. It also traces the material’s origins to military pilot Robert M. Burtt, whose writing Zane recovered. The emphasis is on the broadcasts as a body of radio entertainment and on the era’s aircraft-centered imagination, giving the volume a reference-oriented angle on a popular adventure series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of Captain Midnight and classic radio adventure
  • Readers interested in aviation-themed popular culture and radio history
  • Collectors seeking broadcast summaries of the series’ postwar years

This is why Captain Midnight riveted over 20 million people - equally among youths and adults - to their radios around the globe. It's also why many fans went on to become career aviators.

So come climb aboard prop and jet planes, and haaaapppyyy laaandiiiings!
