Norman Corwin's One World Flight Summary

Norman Corwin's One World Flight: The Lost Journal of Radio's Greatest Writer by Michael C. Keith

Norman Corwin has long been known as 'Radio's Poet Laureate'. During Corwin's travels to 17 countries in 1946, he kept a journal of his personal thoughts and observations. It was put in a drawer where it remained for decades. More than sixty years after the trip, media historian Michael Keith asked Corwin - who is now in his nineties - if he had kept a log or journal of his One World travels. He had, and his analysis of international communications still rings true today.

Norman Corwin's One World Flight Reviews

How wonderful this manuscript was found! I was captivated by every word of Norman Corwin's One World Flight broadcasts. Norman is my dearest friend and greatest teacher, and I love him dearly. I wrote the Martian Chronicles for him. -- Ray Bradbury
