Howie Wing is an American old-time radio juvenile aviation adventure serial. It was syndicated by the World Broadcasting System and distributed initially to stations in Canada, beginning on January 31, 1938. The Don Lee Network started to carry it in the western United States on February 12, 1938. The program was broadcast weekdays on CBS from October 3, 1938, until June 30, 1939.
Bill Moore, who created and wrote Howie Wing, was one of the creators of another old-time radio aviation program, The Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen. Moore was a pilot with the Royal Flying Corps in World War, a barnstorming pilot, and I, providing a background for his writing about aviation. An article in Radio Guide magazine described the program as "an authentic saga of aviation." Moore enhanced the show's authenticity by taking the cast and sound effects of people flying to help them appreciate the atmosphere needed for the program.
Howie Wing began as a flier with the Cadet Aviation Corps. Later, Captain Harvey, who owned an airline in South America, made Wing his co-pilot. The program's plots focused on Wing's battles against corruption, especially that involving Burton York, a saboteur who operated under cover of being an insurance agent.
In light of research that showed 70 percent of the program's audience was children, the scripts avoided situations that might have been confusing for children.
Howie Wing was sponsored by Kellogg's.
In addition to Wing, the program featured Captain Harvey, a veteran flier of World War I. Donna Cavendish was a stewardess who became Wing's love interest. Zero Smith was a disagreeable fellow pilot, Typhoon Tootel was the mechanic, and Burton York was the villain.
Characters in Howie Wing and the actors who portrayed them are:
Howie Wing William Janney
Captain Harvey Neil O'Malley
The Chief Richard Bishop
Burton York Raymond Bramley
Zero Smith John Griggs
Donna Cavendish Mary Parker
Typhoon Tootel Robert Strauss
The transcribed version had a different cast, which included Billie Rose, Audrey McGrath, Bill Bouchey, and Hugh Studebaker. Moore wrote and produced that program.
In 1939, American Airlines named a flagship Howie Wing, the first time in air transportation history that a plane had been called for a radio program. The trade publication Broadcasting described the designation as "a tribute of the airline to the work of Kellogg Co. in making American youngsters air-minded."
