Who was that masked man ?
The Lone Ranger, of course!

One of America’s most beloved fictional western heroes,
The Lone Ranger came to life, ironically, after cheating death, in 1933.
Working with a young writer named Fran Striker,
Detroit radio owner George Trendle created the new
"champion of justice" based loosely, it was said at the
time, on some real life exploits the Texas Rangers in
the 1870's.
Hoping to appeal to adults as well as
children, this strange character, wearing a mask
- the main tool of bandits and thieves to hide their
identity - was first broadcast from Radio
Station WXYZ in Detroit on February 2, 1933.
The Lone Ranger has never left our hearts,
our imagination or our memories.
