  1. John Dunning _ On the Air: The Encyclopedia

    The pairing of Dick Haymes {who had made his name as a popular singer} and George Fenneman {one of radio's smoothest announcers} as actors in an adventure series was unusual. As Crane, Haymes played a pilot whose seat-of-the-pants operation included one old DC-4, appropriately named "the Flying Eight-Ball." The opening signature gave ample evidence of content: Flight 743 calling La Guardia Field … Is that you, Crane? What're you bringing in, tea, teak, or teepee poles? I got a tradewind tan, a tall tale about a tribal treasure, a tropical tramp, and a torrid Tahitian tomato. You know me-I fly anything!
