This coloring book from the early 1950s depicts the character, Cadet Happy from the "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet" television and radio show. The popular children's space adventure program moved from network to network through its almost five years of broadcast history. In fact, "Tom Corbett" appeared on four different television networks in succession: CBS in 1950, NBC in late summer 1951, ABC in parts of 1951 and 1952, the DuMont network in 1953-1954, and again on NBC beginning in 1954 and ended its broadcast in 1955.

This coloring book was donated to the Museum by Michael O'Harro in 1992.
