Captain Midnight #44

From Fawcett Publications in September 1946, this issue of Captain Midnight captures the high-flying spirit of the series in fine form — the cover shows the red-suited hero streaking through the sky, one arm outstretched, as a looping red cable spirals dramatically around him and a propeller-driven aircraft races overhead. The tagline "Blaze the Sky Trails of Adventure with Captain Midnight!" sets the tone perfectly for the action waiting inside, including the intriguingly titled story "Return of the Shark!" A terrific slice of golden-age aviation heroics at its ten-cent best.
