Fighter Flight - Episode 66

Modified detail of the cover painting of Cosmopolitan Magazine, May 1941, by Bradshaw Crandell. A young woman with an aviator cap and goggles on her cap smiles as she prepares to write in a small, red notepad that says, "PILOT LOG BOOK" on its cover. Her white jacket has a wing and propeller logo on her left breast. Tufts of black hair descend from her aviator cap. The painted blue background trails off unfinished on the left side of the image.

An acquaintance of Falk's has dates to the barn dance with two women on the same night. Can Falk steer them away from catastrophe? Will guns be involved? Listen to find out!

Fighter Flight, episode 66 of This Gun in My Hand, was piloted by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog.

Show Notes:
1. Take a sharp right at the end of Diagon Alley and you end up in Terf Alley.

2. The surname Cusamano was taken from a character on The Sopranos. Martha Raye (1916-1994) was a comic actress and singer. Raydeen was one of the Shogun Warriors robots. Moscardino is an Italian name that can refer to types of hawk or sparrowhawk, according to the internet.

3. “Flick Zoltan” was a fake name Falk used in Episode 12, “Made in the Shade.” “Flinch Zipjam” was a sad sack version of Falk from a parallel dimension, introduced in Episode 51, “Flinch Zipjam in the Negative Space.”

4. Captain Fearless, Captain Fight, Captain Flag, Captain Freedom, Sergeant Twilight, Captain Glory, Captain Valiant, and Captain Victory are names of actual public domain superheroes. When Falk and Gilbert talk about Captain Marvel, they mean the one from Fawcett Comics, not the later versions from Marvel Comics.
