John Dunning Quote
The Man Behind the Gun was a major series, highly respected within the industry and by the modest but enthusiastic audience that heard it. It was a three-time winner of Billboard’s top documentary program citation and in 1943 won a Peabody Award as radio’s outstanding dramatic program. It was dedicated to the fighting men of the United States and the United Nations, presented for the purpose of telling you how your boys and their comrades-in-arms are waging our war against Axis aggression. The stories were based on fact, but the names and characterizations were wholly fictitious, giving the writers and director maximum freedom to develop composite representations of fighting-man types.
