March 1944 Radio-Craft

March 1944 Radio Craft Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Craft, published 1929 - 1953. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

These four electronics-themed comics appeared in the March 1944 issue of Radio-Craft magazine. People worldwide were still obsessed with radio and many forms of media created content to feed the frenzy. For that matter, any form of electronic gizmo was deemed to be magical to the average person. All sorts of fantastical inventions were envisioned. In 1944, less than half the households had even one television set, and hard as it may seem to believe, many did not have a single radio, either. Newspapers and magazines constituted the primary form of news distribution and consumption. I have to say that the comic with the quasi-Baroque-angel-style baby holding a "radio-bottle" kind of creeps me out.
