The run
Hop Harrigan, America's Ace of the Airwaves, began on the Blue Network in 1942, adapted from the All-American Comics character, and continued on ABC and Mutual until 1948. Chester Stratton and later Albert Aley flew the fifteen-minute serial through wartime and post-war adventures for an after-school audience. Public-domain transfers from the Internet Archive.
