Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

■ n n n r. ■ 41 U U \JV^j Visiting servicemen in "sick bay" was an unofficial but important part of Arthur Godfrey's tour of duty. Across the air waves recently, Arthur Godfrey bid farewell for a while to his immense audiences. For one month he absented himself while others carried on for him. The Great Godfrey left for a highly concentrated flight-training program that would have exhausted a lesser man. During that month, Birdman Godfrey was to become indoctrinated in both an intricate type of flying and what were, for him, two new types of aircraft. First stop during his month absence from the air waves was the Naval Air Station at Pensacola, Florida. Here the affable Irishman doffed his lackadaisical air. Put aside were the quips and humorous barbs familiar to millions. In their stead he donned the uniform of a full commander which he wears as a member of the Naval Air Reserve. On the uniform are the bright wings he earned, wings he never wants to see tarnished. At Pensacola he became familiar with the technique of flying helicopters: the tricky I has won many honors, but none he prizes more — or worked harder for — than a little Navy Air card By ROBERT S.
