Words at War
Love at First Flight
par
Words at War brings wartime writing to radio, adapting stories and other works connected with the experiences and concerns of World War II. The program presents literature as a way to encounter the human realities of conflict, from the lives of people serving overseas to the pressures and changes felt at home.
Each broadcast is a dramatic presentation rather than a conventional news report. Actors bring the material to life through dialogue and narration, with sound and music helping shape the scenes. The title “Love at First Flight” suggests a story centered on romance and aviation, set against the wartime world that frames the series.
The result combines literary storytelling with the immediacy of radio drama. Its performances offer a focused, intimate way to hear wartime themes explored through individual characters and situations.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
