Ferry Command and old radio history

If you listen to the old Bob Hope radio shows, you will hear at least one in which he and his group perform life for what was called Long Beach Ferry Command. The actual name of this military function was Air Transport Command. Their mission was the delivery of supplies and equipment between the United States and the overseas combat theaters and the ferrying of aircraft from the manufacturing plants in the United States to where they were needed for training or for operational use in combat.

Here is a LINK to the broadcast.
