Secret Squadron, The - Crime fighting organization on the children's live-action adventure CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT/CBS/1954-56. The Secret Squadron (based at a hidden mountain laboratory) was formed to combat evil, especially the Red Menace (Communism) so prevalent in the early 1950s. Headed by Captain Jim Albright (Richard Webb), Captain Midnight (a.k.a. "Jim Albright") tracked down missing nuclear scientists and freed hostages from enemy agents. Members of the Secret Squadron included Olan Soule as Aristotle "Tut" Jones, an eccentric scientist; and Sid Melton as Ichabod "Icky" Mudd, the Captain's trusty mechanic who maintained the sleek, jet fighter known as the Silver Dart. A variety of premiums were available to the devoted TV viewers including a Secret Squadron arm patch with Captain Midnight's Jet, the Silver Dart, I.D. cards with the "SS" motto "Justice through Strength and Courage," Flight Commander Certificate, Signet rings, and Captain Midnight Hot Ovaltine Mugs. http://www.tvacres.com/spies_squadron.htm Aug 02 06, 2:24 PM

Yes. I used to have a decoder ring. This was the time when companies sponsored an entire show and Captain Midnight was sponsored by Ovaltine. Send the inner seal and a quarter. Aug 02 06, 4:55 PM
