Speaker 1 (05:13):
No, not a thing except that it's way out of
the Southwest Rockies, right, most desolate country in the world,
down near the border, completely surrounded by rocks and ravines
and miles of desert.

Speaker 7 (05:23):
If a plane comes down anywhere except on the field,
well it cracks up.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's all these planes, the ones you're talking about.

Speaker 9 (05:30):
I'm getting to that. I just wanted to explain the
lay of the land. Is the field deer any town
twenty miles more or less? Del Rio's just over the border.
What's at del Rio?

The usual thing?

Speaker 9 (05:42):
Gambling joints, racetrack, Oh, yes, yes, the circus or what, Well,

there's something behind it.

Speaker 7 (06:33):

Well, in those sixth pressure when we went out and
examined the wreckage, there wasn't.

Speaker 7 (07:17):
A trace of a motor. What Oh, I don't expect
you to believe it but it's true.

Speaker 9 (07:22):
The engines of every one of those sixplanes simply vanished
in the thin air.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
And that's one of the.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Reasons I say this whole business is in the accident.
It's been planned and someone's behind it. But who is he, captain?
What's he trying to accomplish?

Speaker 10 (07:35):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
What happened? Okay, there's a hole in the window. Something
went through the glass.

Speaker 7 (07:39):
Take a look back at the bace compartment.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
You again, if there's anything wrong, I'll go maybe loose.
That might have been a boat called back if you
find anything, mister Hammond and someone on board. Was that Hana?
We got a store away Shemmy Jimmy os Roby saw

come out, and only something's happened. I had to tell you,
what are you talking about? Mister Kent's a plane coming
up behind, coming up fast, and the shooting at it.
I tell you they are. Then you hear the bullet
of it and a gold look out back. You can
see your wing lights they're right. There is a plane
back there and then shooting for the machine gun. Jimmy,

(08:22):

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Stay with it? Now, Jimmy, hang one of those controls
and don't lose your ear. I'll be all right now.
Then out on the wing looked against dark.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
I wouldn't want Jimmy to see his friend Clark can
take a header into space as Superman, which is.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
High over the wastelands of the Southwest, with a missing
motor and a wounded man in the cockpit, young Jimmy
Olson and Kluk can look desperately for a landing place
in the great darkness of early dawn. Who was trying
to shoot Hamlin's plane down? And why what can Superman
do to foil the plans of an enemy who so far.

Whoop it's a bird, it's a plain, It's Superman. Superman
is a copyrighted feature appearing in Action Comics Magazine.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
All right, everybody, welcome back. Well I love that part
in the beginning where Perry White was sort of trying
to compliment Clark, I guess, and he was like, you know,
he's more than the average reporter, not much more, But
I thought that was kind of funny. And then we
have Jimmy Olsen, of course, do a classic move where

(12:16):
he stows away in the plane and he's not supposed
to be there, but he has found his way into
this storyline. And all these planes are crashing, engines are
going missing, and a lot of mystery, and you know,
we're just gonna have to stick around to find out
what's happening. All right, folks, we are going to take

(12:38):
a quick break and then we'll be right back with
Part two of Airplane Disasters at bridger Field. All right,
so let's go ahead and get into Airplane Disasters at
bridger Field Part two, which aired May first of nineteen

(13:00):

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Presenting the transcription feature Superman Up of the Sky. Whoop,
it's the bird, it's the thing, It's Superman.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
And now Superman, Champion of the Week and the oppressed
balliant fighter for truth than justice, who is faster than
an airplane, stronger than a locomotive, and to walk the
earth as a man among men in the character of
Miles Clark.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
Kent used reporter for the Daily Planet.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
When we last saw him Superman as Dark, Kent was
feeding westward in a plane with young Jimmy Oldts, an
office boy from the Daily Planet city room, and the
badly wounded form of Ed Hamlin of the National Air Service.
Another plane followed them and attended to bring them down
with machine gun bullets. With Hamelin badly hurt and young
Jimmy at the controls, Superman fought off the mystery ship
and returned to help Jimmy, only to find that a

(13:58):
broken oil line had put their own plane and him
in a danger of crashing. As our starting continues today,
the plane, with its motor failing and Kendida controls startes
desperately for a landing place in the great darkness below. Listen,
mister Kent, what about it now? How are we doing?

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Can't tell you, Jimmy, We're losing atltitude all the time.
I'll tell you how much longer we can keep up
their speed. It's still pretty dark. How's mister Hamler doing.
I don't know. Mister Kenny's morning a little now. And
then when he's not conscious, take all the look below.
Peep you see anything? Not yet? Wait a minute, I
do see something, mister Kennet's a light and then there's

(14:37):
the light off to the left. There's two sort of
streaks out in front of me. What are you talking about? Where? Look?
Don't you see it? Right? Scott?

Speaker 7 (14:44):
Give me that the railroad.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
What you see is the headlight of a train and
whose streaks on the track. We're right over, mister Ken.
That is, we're over the tracks. The trains back a
little way. But she's coming right along all right. I
can't see much, little oil all over the window. But
here goes and my Jimmy grab hold of something on
putting her down. See, mister Ken, Ope, we don't clack up,

(15:13):

met it out? Will I bring it to a stand still?
A god for Hamlin? Why that was perfect, mister Ken.
I never even got up. Pump Oh that flashlight? How'd

Tune in next time and follow the exciting story.

Speaker 6 (23:47):
Up in the sky.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
It's a bird, It's a plain, It's Superman.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
Superman is a copyrighted feature of Here in Action Comics Magazine.

Speaker 12 (24:07):
All right, welcome back, everybody. Just a few comments here
and then we'll get you out of here. First off,
I love all the coincidences in this episode. The first
thing is they just happened to crash the plane right
by the train tracks. And add to that that the

(24:28):
train just happens to be coming by at that same time,
And add to that again that the train just happens
to be able to stop to accommodate them. Now, I
don't know much about trains, but from what I do know.
They don't stop on a dime, and so the fact

(24:48):
that this train was able to stop in time to
help them was a little bit of a coincidence, I think,
unless it was just a really slow moving train, which
it may have been. But I love that part where
Clark is introducing Jimmy to the brakeman and he introduces
Jimmy as his assistant, and Jimmy's like, oh boy, And

(25:12):
I just love that sort of childish excitement of oh,
I'm in the big leagues. Now I'm the assistant to
the reporter. And we have another coincidence that the brakeman
on the train that just happened to be coming by
at the same time that they crash is one of
the bad guys. The brakeman on the train just happens

(25:35):
to be one of the bad guys. And I love
how when he was talking to his leader, he was
sort of acting not so bright. He's like, gorilla, what
about the gorilla or a cage? What do you want
me to do with the cage? And that's obviously for
the benefit of the kids, is to give the lead
bad guy the chance to explain what his purposes are.

(25:58):
So that's obviously for but I love that part where
Superman is fighting the gorilla is hilarious because we don't
get to see this on a TV screen or anything,
and so all we hear is the audio of the
gorilla and Superman just sort of talking back to the gorilla.

(26:19):
Absolutely hilarious. There will be several times on this show
where Superman fights the animals, and at the end, Jimmy
Olsen goes mysteriously missing, and we have the promise that
big things are about to happen at bridger Field. So

(26:41):
a lot of excitement here, a lot of mystery. I
like how they're keeping it a mystery as far as
what's going on here at bridger Field.

Speaker 4 (26:51):

for today. Thank you so much for listening. Check out
