Written by Robert Turner and illustrated by George Appel, this 1940 adventure blends aerial peril with wartime intrigue, all rendered in dynamic style. The cover, by Adolphe Barreaux, captures the moment’s tension with bold, expressive lines.
Lobo, the flying sleuth, is summoned to a Southern California city to solve a string of deaths that have shaken the Phelps family—first Murray Phelps on a hunting trip, then his daughter Susan in her garden, both apparently killed by snake bite. But when another family member is nearly struck down and Lobo examines the evidence, he discovers the murders hide a far more sinister method. As Lobo gathers the family, local officials, and a lawyer to expose the truth, he uncovers a deadly deception hidden within an unlikely weapon.
In "The Capture of the Commandant's Daughter," Duke—now a pilot in the Foreign Legion's flying squadron—finds himself in a daring rescue when the Commandant's daughter becomes stranded in a drifting balloon above enemy territory. With the skies thick with danger and time running short, Duke must use all his skill and courage to bring her down safely.
