Recruiting fly boys for the Air Force shifts with radio appeal
The article notes a shift in Air Force recruiting from posters to radio in Denver. A catchy announcer touts the Air Guardsmen as hip, promising action and pay while recruits rose from four to seventy in the first week. It contrasts the jazzed tone with lingering inevitability of enlistment. It also includes a Detroit woman's claim of guilt with a quip about burning the money, plus a plug for low cost cameras at KU Bricht's Pharmacy and emergency prescription contact details.
