Voice Of The Army - 74 Episodes of the Old Time Radio Program

This upload contains 74 episodes of the old time radio show, Voice of the Army.  The show, which aired from the early 1940s to the early 1950s, was conceived as a recruiting vehicle for the United States Army and Army Air Corps (which became the United States Air Force in 1947).  The evolution of the show is interesting. During WWII, the stories focused significantly on the heroism of the Army nurses to encourage women to volunteer for that assignment. In the immediate post-war period, the shows focused on encourage men to re-enlist in the standing army.  In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the show switched to a more typical variety/dramatic anthology show, with celebrity actors and musicians appearing on the show in musical revues or dramatic stories.   Although over 500 episodes were produced, less than 100 episodes appear to have survived. The dates, episode numbers and titles are believed to be correct based on available information, but any corrections are welcome.   Disclaimer: By uploading these files, I make no claim to ownership or copyright. These recordings have been acquired from publicly available sources on the Internet, and my goal has been to put together a collection of every available episode where possible. I will add to these collections if I discover new episodes or if any new episodes become available. Additionally, while I tried to put together a collection that contains the best version of each episode that I could, there may be better copies of some recordings available from collectors and dealers, and I encourage you to reach out to them if you are so inclined. We OTR enthusiasts owe a huge debt to those who have worked tirelessly to discover, acquire and preserve these recordings. My role here has been to organize the files I have, verify the dates, episode numbers and titles as best I could from available sources, and correct and rename the files accordingly. My goal is to ensure these excellent artistic expressions of our past are preserved for this and all future generations, and I hope that by uploading all of my files here in a uniform and organized system, they will be easily accessible for all.
