A General Electric educational comic that traces the history and development of jet propulsion technology. The narrative begins with a secret government meeting in Washington where military and industrial leaders discuss developing a jet engine in America, prompted by news of British jet engine advances. The story then traces jet propulsion from its ancient origins with Hero of Alexandria's spinning sphere powered by steam, through Isaac Newton's laws of motion, and into modern military applications, including various jet-powered aircraft such as the Lockheed Shooting Star, Ryan Fireball, and experimental turboprop designs. The final panels explain that while propellers will continue to be used for certain purposes, jet engines represent the future of aviation and will be increasingly developed and improved.
