  Terry and the Pirates (radio serial) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terry and the Pirates was a radio serial adapted from the comic strip created in 1934 by Milton Caniff.
With storylines of action, high adventure and foreign intrigue, the popular radio series entralled listeners from 1937 through 1948.
When the late afternoon series began, it was heard at 5:15pm, three times a week, sponsored by Dari-Rich, airing on NBC from November 1, 1937 to March 22, 1939.

 CheckerBPG Biography
By 1937, Terry had spread from the newspaper page to NBC radio, and dozens of other licensing deals were being made by the syndicate to maximize revenue from this cash cow.
Terry and the Pirates was owned part and parcel by the syndicate, and however well he was paid for the daily production of the hit strip, it would always remain syndicate property once it left his studio.
World War II temporarily put Caniff’s misgivings about Terry on the back burner, as he contributed to the war effort the best way he knew how (he was unfit for service due to a medical condition), with a GI version of Terry and the Pirates, donated to the syndicate servicing the U.S. military.

The Fleischer Superman movie-cartoons were nominated for Academy Awards, and featured voices from the cast of the radio series, while the screenplays of Columbia's 1948 and 1950 Superman movie serials were adapted from the radio program rather than from the stories within the comic books.
The series' most famous sound effect was reportedly created by combining a recording of an artillery shell streaking through the air with a separate recording of a wind tunnel played backward.
Though the Superman television series continues in syndication to this day, budget restraints and primitive special effects prevented the series from reaching the imaginative levels of epic adventure that were commonplace on the radio series.
