A magazine-style wartime Ceiling Unlimited broadcast organized around what Americans are saying, singing, reading and learning from the war. It combines commentary, music, aircraft-production news and a comic soldier's diary about a self-described smart serviceman whose plans repeatedly backfire. The program closes by arguing that American production and military strength must be matched by the resolve to enforce a lasting peace after victory.
