The run
Mystery in the Air was broadcast on NBC in 1945 and again in the summer of 1947, when Peter Lorre starred in adaptations of Poe, Dickens, Maupassant and Gogol. Lorre's unrestrained performances made the short second run one of the most-remembered horror series of the period. These recordings are public domain.

2 dated broadcasts across 3 years on the air, with 2 years where nothing is known to survive. Brightness is transfer quality; empty cells are months lost to time.
