ON THE AIR TONIGHT: Wings of Destiny, on NBC-Red at 10:00, E.S.T., sponsored by Wings Cigarettes. This is the first radio program ever to give away an airplane on each broadcast. Not only that, but if you win a plane the sponsors arrange for you to learn how to fly it. The first part of this thirty-minute program is drama — an aviation mystery story revolving about the adventures of a transport pilot, a daredevil girl photographer and the pilot's "grease-monkey" or mechanic. Steve Benton, the pilot, is played by John Hodiak (you hear him also in the title role of Li'l Abner); Peggy Banning, the girl, by Betty Arnold; and Brooklyn, the mechanic, by Henry Hunter. After the dramatic portion of the program, the name of the week's airplanewinner is announced. The winner is the person who has most successfully completed an advertising slogan in 25 words or less, and a different slogan is announced every week. Del King, the Wings of Destiny announcer, puts in a long-distance call direct from the studio to the person whose slogan has won for that week. While he is waiting for the call to be completed, a second studio announcer is talking on another telephone to Art Peirce, former World War ace, who is at the Chicago Municipal Airport, waiting to fly the prize plane to the fortunate contest-winner of the week. The planes are all Piper Cubs, valued at $1,750, and are flown by Peirce straight from Chicago to t':e winners, no matter where they live. Since the planes must be delivered on the Sunday afternoon following the Friday night broadcast, Peirce frequently has to hustle. Several times he has been grounded by bad weather, but he's always managed to arrive in the tiny Piper Cub in time for the scheduled presentation. Peirce's proudest achievement came when he delivered a plane to the first winner, Thomas Gallagher, a resident of Cincinnati. Just before reaching the Cincinnati airport, he was flying straight into a I 10-mile headwind. The maximum speed of the plane was 90 miles an hour. Peirce says he is the first man who ever flew three miles over the city of Cincinnati backwards. He doesn't say how he managed to get there, though. You'll have to figure that out yourself. If, when you listen in to Wings of Destiny, you are unhappy because you can hear only the announcer's half of the telephone conversation in which the winner is told of his good luck, don't blame the program. For some reason, it's against the law to broadcast both ends of a telephone conversation. Horace Heidt's Pot O' Gold show runs into the same restrictions. S«</t/e£&7o FEBRUARY, 1941 MARY PATTON — the glamorous young woman who plays Marie Martel in Arnold Grimm's Daughter. Mary was born with an exhibition complex, she says, and never intended to be anything but an actress. Before she achieved her ambition, though, she did some singing, modelling, secretarial work, and even selling in a department store. She got her first acting job as an understudy in the New York company of "You Can't Take It With You," then went on tour playing one of the leads in the show, and began working in radio upon her. return to New York. She likes the theater, sports of all kinds, dogs and horses, and loves to cook. 43
