This volume collects the earliest adventures of Airboy, the classic aviator hero, from his Golden Age origins. It features the debut of the character and his sidekick Birdie, as well as the introduction of the Nelson family legacy that would define the series. The collection includes stories from the 1940s that established the high-flying action and pulp-style storytelling of the character.
