Adventure-detective series about former wartime intelligence operative Frank Race, who becomes an investigator and travels into cases involving murder, espionage, theft, and international intrigue.

Complete 43-program syndicated adventure-detective run about former OSS operative Frank Race and partner Mark Donovan. Program numbers 1-43 are stable; dates vary by market, so the frozen May 1949-Feb 1950 chronology is treated as a reference syndication schedule rather than a universal first-air sequence.

The run breaks into several distinct periods: East Coast reference syndication schedule (May 1, 1949 to February 19, 1950) and West Coast resyndication schedule (June 5, 1951 to March 25, 1952).

Names that turn up again and again in the surviving run include director) (performer), Buckley Angel (writer (performer), Ivan Ditmars (organist, composer, and music), Joel Murcott (writer (performer), Tony Barrett (performer), Art Gilmore (announcer), and Bruce Eells (producer, director, and writer).

Across its run, the surviving broadcasts are tied to Broadcasters Program Syndicate.

The stories often return to international adventure and dangerous assignments, private investigation and insurance cases, murder and violent crime, international travel and foreign settings, theft, smuggling and stolen property, and espionage and postwar intelligence.

The show also sits in a wider radio history that includes Postwar intelligence adventure fiction, Transcription syndication and local advertising, and International adventure settings in postwar radio.
