Hello, and welcome to another episode of Nostologic Mystery Radio.

I'm your host Stevie Kay, and it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For this episode, I bring you The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, episode titled Birds on the Wing,

originally aired November 26, 1949.

When a wealthy playboy fall in with some aerialists and get a threatening letter,

Marlowe is hired by the boy's aunt to get him out of trouble.

So sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio.

Thank you for listening.

Get this and get it straight.

Crime is a sucker's road,

and those who travel had wind up in the gut of the prison of the grave.

They dressed in red, white, and blue, and jumped from an ancient biplane at 3,500 feet.

Twice a day, every day, and nobody worried, until five million bucks went along just for the laughs,

and death went along for the ride.

From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction,

comes his most famous character

in The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

Now, with Gerald Moore starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you tonight's exciting story,

The Birds on the Wing.

It had been the kind of quiet,

Workless Week that speaks well for human beings and their relations with one another,

but doesn't do much for a private detective's bank balance.
