The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

In 1932, the Buck Rogers radio program, notable as the first science fiction show on radio, hit the airwaves. Plots were roughly similar to those of the comic strip, with Buck, his liberated co-pilot Wilma Deering and the brilliant Dr. Huer, daily keeping the world in one piece. The sounds of Buck's arsenal, consisting of such futuristic devices as death rays, incendiary missiles, gamma bombs and a mechanical mole capable of burrowing deep into the Earth, were simulated by a variety of electrical and hand-powered motors. The radio program aired four times a week (monday through Thursday) from 1932 through 1947.

The series was produced and directed by Carlo De Angelo and later by Jack Johnstone.
