"December 7, 1941 - a date that will live in infamy."

With those words Roosevelt announced that the nation was at war, and the most dramatic decade in American history began to unfold. Defense plants worked feverishly to deliver a seemingly impossible amount of arms. Soldiers framed pinups of Rita Hayworth and Betty Grable. and women left the kitchen sink behind to replace the men who had deserted the assembly lines to go to war. The final thrust against the Nazis began on "D" Day, and the war ended after the atomic bomb was exploded over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It wasn't all history and news... radio meant entertainment, laughter, and escape. The airwaves swung to the music of the Big Bands; Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basle, and the new idol, Frank Sinatra. Americans laughed with Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Bob Hope and Milton Berle, the darling of that new medium, television.

People in the news included Dr. Benjamin Spock, Howard Hughes, gangster Bugsy Siegal and Alfred Kinsey. Joe DiMaggio was belting them out and Ted Williams, Stan Musial, and Joe Louis were the sports heroes of the day.

Days of tears...moments of laughter ...Now you can relive these unforgettable years.. through the actual voices, events, and music of the people who lived it.
