About the programme.
The stories follow OSS operations during the Second World War. They are dramatic narratives, not instructions or unedited operational records. The changing missions let the programme move between agents and places while keeping the pressure of working under a false identity.

Broadcast history.
NBC broadcast the series in 1950, drawing its premise from Corey Ford and Alastair MacBain's book about the OSS. Sherman Marks directed. Individual plays used a changing cast of radio actors rather than one star whose credits apply to every mission.
Where to begin.
Try a complete mission such as File 2218 if available in the directory. Give the opening situation your attention: understanding what the agent must conceal is part of understanding the danger.
