"One of the most outstanding programs in radio" - Variety.
"The boldest and hardest-hitting program of 1944" - New York
Times.
Words at War ran just two years, from June 1943 to June 1945.
Its theme was World War II. Novels and short stories were
featured, as were non-fiction war correspondents like Ernie
Pyle.
In this episode, host Carl Van Doren presents Fair Stood the Wind
for France, which is both a war story and a love story, and is
considered one of the very best shows of the series. It first
aired on June 27, 1944.
