Show Description

A salute to "Shorty" Wagner which leads into an Army Story about someone who wanted to be a pilot but was rejected for being too short. He takes a correspondence course on how to get tall and 'grows' to a half inch over the minimum gets qualified, and when he reports a few weeks later he has shrunk to 1 inch under the minimum height!

Comments

• Commercials seem to have been added. Perhaps this is a rerun and the commercials are replacing the originals? There is also a portion of an Ornithopter commercial.
