Radar Men from the Moon (Republic Studios, 1952) was the first Commando Cody serial starring newcomer George Wallace. This famous serial recycles the rocket-powered flying suit from King of the Rocketmen (1949). Stock footage from earlier Republic Studios serials, all the way from The Purple Monster Strikes (1945) to King of the Rocket Men, is also used extensively.
It was filmed between October 17, 1951, and November 6, 1951, on a budget of $172,840. Most location filming was done at the Iverson Ranch in Chatsworth, California. The serial was followed by a short lived television series, Commando Cody: Sky Marshal, which retained Aline Towne as Joan Gilbert but replaced George Wallace and William Bakewell with Judd Holdren and William Schallert.
Overseas items (eg to USA) are sent by ROYAL MAIL AIRMAIL.
ROYAL MAIL do not do tracking for airmail items unless you pay considerably more for insurance for the privilege – as anything posted overseas (eg, to the USA) is not under their control. This is usually prohibitively expensive, but if you would like your item insured please contact me first.
Items are usually sent the day after you pay, or perhaps the same day depending on the time difference, and delivery normally takes about two weeks (10 days usually, but sometimes longer). During busy periods (Christmas especially) it can take around three weeks. This applies to postage to USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, and to a limited extent, also to Europe.
PLEASE NOTE I AM A UK SELLER
POSTAGE TAKES LONGER (a couple of weeks, not a couple of days).
