Back in 1947, “The Voice of the Army” used radio-drama techniques to tell the history of the U.S. armed forces newspaper, Stars & Stripes, begun during World War I.
The radio show itself was a post-World War II Army and Air Force Recruiting tool.
I just stumbled on this broadcast in the old time radio researchers group library and will be back to say more about it later.
