This issue contains two stories. "Billy Mitchell, Father of the American Air Force" recounts how General Billy Mitchell, a pioneering military aviator, demonstrated the potential of aircraft as weapons by proving that planes could sink a battleship, challenging the Navy's dominance. A second story, "Cuckoo? Not Koo-Koo!", follows Bruce Gentry as he becomes entangled with a monkey and attempts to deliver a package via steamship, only to discover that guns have been smuggled aboard and must intercept speedboats that are waiting to retrieve them when the ship passes a beach.

Flight to Nowhere
8 pp · Adventure
Bruce Gentry

Three airplanes vanishing over the Andes with nothing but strange reports—a flying fish, a giant bird, an impossible plane—land squarely on Bruce Gentry's desk when the airlines detective takes the case. As Bruce pilots his own gold shipment into the mystery, he discovers the phantom aircraft is far more sinister than folklore, and the real threat waits in the jungle below. With a crashed plane, stolen gold, and a criminal operation closing in, Gentry must outthink a dangerous conspiracy before becoming just another missing pilot.

Billy Mitchell, Father of the American Air Force
7 pp · Biography, War
William "Billy" Mitchell

General Billy Mitchell was a flying ace turned advocate who staked everything on proving that aircraft could revolutionize modern warfare—specifically, that bombers could sink battleships when the military establishment insisted it was impossible. When his public crusade for air power drew official censure, Mitchell doubled down, challenging the Navy to let him demonstrate the truth, and the result was a series of unprecedented bombing tests in the summer of 1921 that would settle the debate once and for all. This is the story of the man who forced America to take wings seriously, even as it cost him dearly.

Cuckoo? Not Koo-Koo!
4 pp · Adventure
Bruce Gentry

When Chick brings home a mischievous squirrel monkey named Koo-Koo from the marketplace, Bruce Gentry finds himself caught between her enthusiasm and Holiday's exasperation as the clever little prankster wreaks hilarious havoc around the house. As Koo-Koo proves he's more than just cute—mimicking everyone's actions and causing mayhem with surprising ingenuity—the household descends into chaos, with Holiday's new hat bearing the brunt of the monkey's antics. Will the irrepressible troublemaker find his place in the Gentry home, or will Holiday's patience finally snap?

The Bedeviled Bebop
10 pp · Adventure
Bruce Gentry

When Bruce Gentry stumbles into a jazz club to catch the bebop sensation Betty perform, he uncovers something far more sinister than musical innovation—the band's intricate rhythms are actually a coded message system for smuggling weapons to a revolutionary army. Racing against time and danger, Bruce must untangle the conspiracy before the next shipment reaches shore, all while grappling with what to do about the beautiful musician at the center of the operation.
