Here’s another puzzle from John’s files: the script for a children’s record about the history of aviation. Aviation was one of his favorite subjects; he learned to fly, but had to give it up when he was diagnosed with diabetes. For one of his birthdays, I gave him a “Spotter Deck,” a pack of playing cards with silhouettes of Allied and Axis aircraft, distributed to GIs in World War II. He said he could still identify most of them.
The script seems to be unfinished. There’s no indication of whether it was commissioned or was his own idea. It’s in a file with other material from 1964 and 1965, so I assume it was also written around then.
