No TV but I remember Capt. Midnight and Tom Mix. My first model was put together with the Old Bottle and Cork, Cellulose glue. The Airplane was a P-51 with cardboard wings and Pine wood fuselage ( balsa was impossible to get durring the WWII ). I glued 3 stick matches together and attached them to the wings. I took it to school to show the other Kids, Boy if someone did that today the School would be put on shutdown and i would be arrested for Terrorism.
FUN FUN FUN.
