This is Your FBI: The Skyway Swindle

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents this is your SBI. This is your SBI, an official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

Here's an old saying you'll recognize, in Union there is strength. It appears in some form or other in ancient as well as modern literature, but it has special significance for the three and a quarter million members of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States.

Through Union in the Equitable Society, they have created the security of life insurance for themselves and their families, provided education for children to help make old age to cure uncomfortable. Remember too, the premium dollars of equitable society members are invested in ways that promote national prosperity.

So that by serving its members, the equitable life-assurance society serves America. Tonight's file, the Skyway Swindle. You can cure an alcoholic, a drug addict, and sometimes you can even cure a golf player.

But you'll never cure a flying man. Once he has learned to fly his heart and soul forever after belonged to the sun, wind and stars. That is why the thousands of young Americans who flew the fighters, bombers, and transports during the war, are finding it so hard to reconvert to peacetime pursuits on the ground.

They know that America's civilian aviation industry cannot possibly absorb them all, and they are readjusting as best they can. But just let them see an opportunity to fly again, and well... one young veteran of 30 missions over Tokyo saw such an opportunity recently.
