Buck Rogers was a character in the eponymous science fiction series in the 20th century.
As a child, James Wainwright was an avid reader of the Buck Rogers stories as well as those featuring Captain Proton and Flash Gordon. (TOS - Strange New Worlds III short story: "The Aliens Are Coming!"; TOS novel: From History's Shadow)
Kevin Mulkahey was familiar with Buck Rogers. (DS9 novelization: Far Beyond the Stars)
When, in 2375, Vic Fontaine and Ezri Dax were discussing Ezri's joining to the Dax symbiont, Vic referenced Buck Rogers along with Flash Gordon, atomic rays and rocket ships as the sort of 24th century technobabble he didn't understand, confusing Ezri just as much in the process with the entirely 20th century futuristic science fiction references. (DS9 - The Lives of Dax short story: "Second Star to the Right...")
