Happy Sunday All...

We have one of the great OTR programs, Jack Benny Walking in the Easter Parade...The Shadow (we don’t get enough of)...and not sure what America, Ceiling Unlimited is...

How’s it going?

[Calvin Locke]

Ceiling Unlimited is a CBS radio series created by Orson Welles and sponsored by the Lockheed-Vega Corporation. The program was conceived to glorify the aviation industry and dramatize its role in World War II.

Turned into a variety show at some point.
