Nylons

Produced by:

Gemma Hooley
Wendy Thompson

For many, nylon stockings provided a gossamer symbol of hope against the backdrop of the deprivations of WW II. Big band music and old-time radio conjure up the days of the wartime black market, smuggling, and nylon-bearing American troops who depict the contrasts between war-torn Europe and life back home. Producer Wendy Thompson gathers some memories of nylons from both sides of the ocean: nylons patented, coveted, smuggled and improvised, through the war and beyond.
