This wartime propaganda show, made at the same time as Hello Americans, was sponsored by Lockheed and Vega, and used the theme of planes and aviation to expound upon America's war efforts and its continuing climb to greatness. While blatant propaganda, the show is usually quite entertaining, often using humor to make its point. Plus, where else can you hear Welles playing Satan, as in a guest episode? Like Hello Americans, CU used vignettes and sketches to gets its message across, and Mercury actors such as Agnes Moorehead, Joseph Cotten, Ray Collins, and Everett Sloane appear. During Welles' period on the show, programs lasted only 15 minutes. After Welles left, Cotten later took over as host, and the show expanded to half an hour in length. The show was broadcast on CBS, as was Hello Americans.
