Radio "Litrachure"

[chouse]

Hi Will,

for children's series on radio and wireless be sure to check out your used
book store in your area there is a chance that if you get an old boys
adventure book
such as the rover boys etc.. you will find a catalog in the back of many of
these books that will give a list of the ocean wireless boys radio boys
radio girls of roselawn etc... there was a large grouping of books that
arose during the teens and twenties around this subject...

There may also be a web site out there devoted to some of the history of
this genre be sure to check  the search engines.

Drop me a line if you hit a dead end and if necessary we can dig something
out of storage.
