About this listen

 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.
