An educational comic sponsored by General Electric that explores the history and development of jet propulsion technology. The story begins in the Pentagon, where military officials recruit General Electric to develop America's first jet engine in a secret wartime project, with reference to British jet engine designs. The narrative then traces jet propulsion from its ancient origins—including Hero of Alexandria's invention of the first steam turbine—through modern applications, demonstrating how jet engines operate and highlighting contemporary military aircraft like the Lockheed Shooting Star and the Ryan FR-1 Fireball. The comic concludes by explaining that while propellers will continue to be used for certain purposes, jet engines represent the future of aviation and will see increasing development and improvement.
