Series Description:

The Sky King TV show was a 30 minute action series that had started as a radio program of the same name. The storyline was about a former World War II pilot named Schuyler King. Along with his niece and nephew "Penny" and "Clipper", they lived on the Flying Crown Ranch near the ficticious town of Grover, Arizona and near a top-secret military installation. Due to his military background and the small numbers of law enforcement officers in the area, Sky King often found it necessary to round-up the local bad guys and protect the military installation from being robbed, spied upon, or blown up.
