Probably one of radio’s best known juvenile adventure shows of the three written by George Trendle and Fran Striker, this show featured Britt Reid as the young publisher of The Daily Sentinel. The Green Hornet was his secret identity, which he used when battling with criminals of all descriptions. Like Batman, his identity was only known to Kato, his trusted valet and the driver of Hornet’s amazing car, Black Beauty.
