Exciting Comics #42

The American Eagle and Eaglet spring into action when a series of mysterious plane crashes and skyway robberies plague America's airways, leading General Swanson to call on the flying duo to investigate. Their hunt brings them face-to-face with the White Angel, a winged villain armed with a devastating electrical device that's been bringing aircraft down in flames—and now he's set his sights on intercepting a major silver shipment headed for Washington. As the heroes race to stop the White Angel's final "perfect crime," they'll need all their powers of flight and cunning to stay ahead of a foe who's already left them trapped in a burning cabin.

When members of an Egyptian expedition start turning up dead—each marked by a mysterious death threat from a group calling themselves "The Avengers"—Peter Ward, a young Egyptologist, recognizes the danger all too well, for he wears the signet ring of the very king they claim to be avenging. Transforming into The Scarab, he must track down the vengeful gang before they strike again, but a spy in Dr. Rawlings's own institute threatens to turn the tables on him entirely. With gravitational powers and quick fists, The Scarab races against time to stop the Egyptian cutthroats and prevent a horrifying fate.
