Jack
Armstrong, the All-American Boy was a radio adventure series which
maintained its popularity from 1933 to 1951. The program originated at
WBBM in Chicago on July 31, 1933, and was later carried on CBS, then NBC
and finally ABC.
The storylines centered around the globe-trotting adventures of
Armstrong (played by Jim Ameche until 1938), a popular athlete at Hudson
High School, his friends Billy Fairfield and his sister Betty, and their
"Uncle Jim," James Fairfield, an industrialist. Frequently, "Uncle Jim"
Fairfield would have to visit an exotic part of the world in connection
with his business, and he would take Jack Armstrong and the Fairfield
siblings along with him. Many of the adventures provided listeners with
the equivalent of a travelogue, providing facts about the lands they
were visiting. The show was created by writer Robert Hardy Andrews.
Sponsored throughout its long run by Wheaties, the program was renamed
Armstrong of the SBI when Jack graduated high school and became a
government agent in the final season, when it shifted from a 15-minute
serial to a half-hour complete story format. Throughout its broadcast
span, the program offered radio premiums that usually related to the
adventures in which Jack and his friends were involved.
In the Jack Armstrong movie serial of 1947, ace science whiz Armstrong
(John Hart) must escape from an island fortress after he is kidnapped by
a villain who wants the secrets of atom-powered motors. That same year
the Parents Institute began publishing their Jack Armstrong comic book
which had a 13-issue run. Leslie N. Daniels, Jr. wrote the Big Little
Book, Jack Armstrong and the Ivory Treasure (1937). Daniels' tale was
based on a 1937 Talbot Mundy radio script which Mundy had first written
as his novel The Ivory Trail (1919).
A short Jack Armstrong animated TV pilot was developed by Hanna-Barbera
for a proposed television series. However, when negotiations for rights
to the characters collapsed, the planned series was reworked into what
became the animated adventure Jonny Quest (1964). Some of the Jack
Armstrong footage survived in the closing credits for Jonny Quest.
Timothy Bottoms portrayed Jack Armstrong in the action-adventure film,
American Hero (1997).
