{"product_id":"radios-captain-midnight","title":"Radio's Captain Midnight","description":"\u003cp\u003e   During the horror and conflict of World War II, a fictional radio character named Captain Midnight stormed his way into the consciousness of American radio listeners. Captain Midnight (a.k.a. Charles J. Albright) was a vigorous, mature figure whom listeners could easily perceive defending their United States. The scripts, well written and expertly plotted, had a wide appeal--from excited children and their Secret Squadron Code-O-Graphs to U.S. Army Air Corps flight crews. But to fans (then and now) of the original 15-minute serial adventures, the \"real\" Captain Midnight retired when the show went to 30 minutes, replaced actor Ed Prentiss, and simplified the writing and plotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Using facts, details and events from those original early radio scripts of \u003ci\u003eCaptain Midnight\u003c\/i\u003e, the author has constructed a \"biography\" of the great wartime aviation hero, covering his origins and adventures. Concluding the work are thorough appendices that discuss Secret Squadron equipment, aircraft and rocketry; cryptology and code-cracking in the series; and Captain Midnight's portrayal in various media (books, radio, television, serials, comics and newspaper strips).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54231575101784,"sku":"9780786421763","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786421763.jpg?v=1778542234","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/radios-captain-midnight","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
