THE BATTLING PILOT

In his sprawling pulp fiction writing career, L. Ron Hubbard always had a soft spot for the intrepid lone airman. After all, he'd been one. In this Galaxy Press adventure (originally published in 1937), Peter England ("moody as the Atlantic weather") and his navigator, Tom Duffy, are asked to take on a couple of mysterious passengers. Rough weather, Nazi-sounding bad guys, and a chance to do the right thing all make for an exciting but bumpy ride. Narrator R.F. Daley and a full cast perform with Golden Age verve and good humor. One can hear the actors having a ball bringing these 75-year-old stories to life. HINT The women's "accents" are very important in this one. Listen closely.
