Motion Pictures Junior G Men of The Air

This morning after watching Moonshine Highway on Tubi again, I was scrolling around and found a series called Junior G men of the air. The first episode was called "Wings Afire". It was about a bunch of smart-ass kids who work in a plane junk yard who drive around in a model A truck waiting for planes to crash then go collect the parts. In the first episode the boys enter an air race while the smartest kid says back in the shed working on a muffler for airplane engines while the other kids get the truck stolen buy a gang of Japanese bank robbers. It seemed to have a good number of old cars, in the first five minutes anyway, to keep watching. In the second episode, which I haven't finished watching, one of the boy's prefect the muffler by simply turning it around just in time for the Japanese gang to storm in and steal it. I've done a search and didn't find anything. Heck even the movie Stlls thread didn't turn up much.

 

I seem to recall a drag racing team from back in the day calling them self's the dead end kids or the dead end gang.

 

Bowery Boys. They made a bunch of those.

 

Huntz Hall was one of the Bowery Boys.

 

Yep if I remember correctly they started out as the dead end kids and ended up as the bowery boys.

Growing up I bet my mom watched every movie they ever made.

Slip was always my favorite, he had a way with words.

The Bowery Boys were originally known as the Dead end kids.

The Dead End Kids were a group of young actors from New York City who appeared in Sidney Kingsley's Broadway play Dead End in 1935. In 1937, producer Samuel Goldwyn brought all of them to Hollywood and turned the play into a film. They proved to be so popular that they continued to make movies under various monikers, including the Little Tough Guys, the East Side Kids, and the Bowery Boys, until 1958.

 

Most episodes seem to be between 17-20 minutes long and the whole series can be watched in an afternoon.
