25th Anniversary of the Air Force Song

As covered in our book, in September of 1964, to mark the 25th anniversary of the Air Force Song by Robert Crawford, a special 25-minute radio show was prepared and distributed to radio stations. The 12-inch, 33 1/3 RPM disc was housed in a special sleeve. An insert showed the running order for the program:

As you can see, Stewart appeared very early in the program. He was also singled out on the back of the album jacket with his own photo and the words to High Flight.

Stewart’s portion has been edited from the full program here. You will hear the Walt Tease introduction, Stewart’s reading and the Singing Sergeants’ song.
