"Always ready with a hand for oppressed men, and an eye for repressed women."

Falcon was a decade-long detective series that aired on Blue Network from 1943 to 1953. It is based on a series of detective movies starring Falcon, the fictional detective created by Michael Arlen (although there are some who believe that the creator was actually Drexel Drake).

The character of Falcon was first featured in one of Arlen’s short stories. He was described as a hardboiled detective who loves adventures. Drake’s character, on the other hand, was called Michael Waring. Lots of Falcon films, nevertheless, featured a guy detective named Gay Falcon. Some films also featured Falcon’s detective sibling Tom Lawrence. After the success of all Falcon films, radio producers decided to make an radio show using the popular character.

The radio character of Falcon was somewhat more similar to Drake’s character than Arlen’s. The show aired over various networks throughout its run. Different actors took the role of Falcon, with the most remembered among them being Les Tremayne and Les Damon. Click here to read more about Falcon, The

The adventure of the Falcon.

72 year later after the debut "The Falcon" is one of my favorites!

I have been a radio fan for about 60 years. I am in the process of collecting my favorites. I have hundreds of cassettes that are so old.

Joannie

The Falcon, like the LoneWolf, and a wide variety of dectectives, were also featured in various movies...many of which I saw in actual theaters, heard on radio, etc. I have some of these programs on both tape and cds which ARE BECOMING OBSOLETE AS I WRITE THIS...Many famous Holly Wood Movie stars, like Bogart, Price, Sinatra, etc. actually did a lot on radio...check out the history and also listen to the old shows and find out what you have missed and what things were like, especially during WWII...most people today are very ignorant of such...

Halford

The Falcon radio show was an off-shoot of The Falcon films. In the films he was an English gentleman detective, in the radio series a more typical hardboiled private eye. Yet when the scripts from the radio show were remade in Australia, he was back to being an English gentleman detective.

Michael Arlen created The Falcon in his 1940 story, Gay Falcon. This crime drama about Michael Waring (The Falcon), takes place in New York. The series was broadcast by NBC and Mutual from 1943 to 1954.
