CEILING UNLIMITED: GREMLINS (RADIO)
Summary
One in this series of informative patriotic dramas about aviation featuring Orson Welles and sponsored by the makers of Lockheed and Vega aircraft. In this whimsical episode, a group of air force officers meet to discuss their difficulties with gremlins, malevolent elf-like beings that irritate pilots and make aviation difficult. Lt. Mesler explains that the gremlin on his plane has helped rather than hindered him ever since he fed it cream at the suggestion of his Irish girlfriend, Moira. The generals decide that all the gremlins should be fed cream, and, because Christmas is near, to suggest this to Santa Claus as well.
