Lux Radio Theater — OTR — Air Force

The Lux Radio Theatre. July 12, 1943. "Air Force". Sponsored by: Lux, Vimms. A good story about the fighting United States Air Force, surprised at Pearl Harbor, but coming back fighting! The post-story guest is Mary Pickford, who presents the show with an award. The last show of the season. Millions of Americans will never forget one certain moment of their lives, the moment on December 7th, 1941, when that news came from Pearl Harbor Cecil B De Mille was sitting quietly at home going over a Lux Radio Theatre Play when his daughter rushed in from next door to tell him t had happened. If it made such an impression on him quietly reading a manuscript at home think what it meant to the crew of the flying forces when they learned that news a few hours away from Hawaii. It’s the story of this crew and their plane The Mary Ann that’s told tonight in Air Force.
