 It was during these years on the "Kraft Music Hall" that Bob Burns popularized his famous “bazooka” instrument (made from a pipe and a funnel), coining the term which was later used by soldiers referring to the 2.75-inch recoilless rifle anti-tank weapon, the bazooka.Crosby left "Kraft Music Hall" in 1946 and began hosting his own series, "Philco Radio Time"; Crosby would continue hosting his own network radio programs until 1962.
