RAF Aces (1944 Pulp, Scans, Canada)


Hoodoo Plays the Hero by Mel Pitzer
December, 1944
"A dog who causes unintentional havoc in an Allied airbase finally proves his value."

Kid Brother by David Goodis
December, 1944 
"A conscientious objector from a family with a long military tradition finally finds a reason to fight. This is a typical WW2 flag-waver, though slicker than most. Goodis excels in the dogfight sequence - vivid, gut-wrenching stuff. The touches of British life are straight out of "Mrs. Miniver", but no real harm in that."

Blair of The Mounties (1938) - Old Time Radio

Source.

"Blair of the Mounties is the story of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police -- a fictional series based on the work of the Northwest Mounted Police before the World War I. It was a fifteen minute weekly serial heard every Monday for 36 weeks beginning January 31st, 1938 and running through the 3rd of October of 1938. It may have been on the air as early as 1935, although there’s no actual proof of this.

Little is known of the series other than it followed the exploits of Sgt. Blair of the Northwest Mounted Police. and probably was the inspiration for Trendell, Campbell and Muir's Challenge of the Yukon.

The series was written by Colonel Rhys Davies, who also played the Colonel Blair in the series. Jack Abbot played the Constable.

Jack French, one of OTR’s best researchers says this about the series: “Blair is not restricted to Canada, as other Mounties, as we find him, in a few cases, in Great Britain, solving cases. Overall the series is amateurishly written, with the actor playing Blair coming accros as a bit stuffy.”
