Air Stories, Vol. 2, No. 6

This June 1936 issue of Air Stories contains aviation fiction and features centered on World War I combat. The lead serial "Somewhere in France" by Major L. S. Metford follows Second Lieutenant Billy Landers, an incompetent RFC pilot repeatedly lost on navigation exercises, who becomes separated in fog over the Channel. A parallel narrative introduces a British Spad pilot engaged with a German L.V.G. bomber, which proves to be a decoy luring him into anti-aircraft fire. Additional stories include "The Four Dumb Mouths" by Captain J. E. Gurdon (a mid-air murder mystery), "Heavier-Than-Air" by Philip Arnall (featuring a reckless pilot), "North Sea Raider" by Major G. F. Eliot, "Someone Had Blundered" by Campbell Hughes, and "The Balloonatic" by G. M. Bowman. A non-fiction feature "Wings of the Black Eagle" by A. H. Pritchard presents the history of the German Imperial Air Service. The issue includes a model section, pilot profiles, and readers' queries.
