The Captain Midnight radio and TV Code-O-Graph collection consists of a small collection of promotional toy decoding devices, photographs, and memorabilia packaging, offering insight into wartime entertainment and its continued influence into the Cold War era.

The Captain Midnight Radio program was one of the most popular children's shows of the 1940's. It centered around the character of flying ace Captain Midnight (formerly Captain Albright) who had received his nickname years before when he, as an army flyer, returned from a dangerous mission at the stroke of twelve, just in time to save the Allied cause.
