Seven soaring stories from the January, 1942 issue of DARE-DEVIL ACES magazine
Presented by Black Magazine www.blackMaskMagazine.com] and iPulpFiction www.iPulpFiction.com]
DARE-DEVIL ACES is one of several aviation pulps published by Popular Publications. Aviation pulps were an outgrowth of adventure magazines and came into their own as World War I ended and daring aviators such as Charles Lindberg and Amelia Earhart were grabbing headlines. Stories centered on WWI battle action, but shifted to modern conflict as WWII began.
BULLETS FOR THE SKY WOLF By William Porter A stolen ship, an outlawed ace... and only the wind and the bullets could hear the last taunting farewell of the outcast of Bristol Squadron: "I'll be cold meat tomorrow, pals-but I'll give 'em hell today "
TALONS OF THE HAWK By Daniel Winters One last hell-packed hour the fates had given Fighting Joe Gregory to settle his destiny in enemy skies-bullets in the dawn and a traitor's unmarked grave-or escape with a secret that would rock the world
YOU CAN'T KILL AN EAGLE by Robert Syndey Bowen "Half of this outfit swears you're a spy; the other half curses you for a coward. We're takin' off now for the hottest corner in this man's war. An' you're going with us-to write your answer with your guns "
AIR ANGELS By Dusty Dowst Warbirds are gamblers, and the stake is life... Here are some battle tales of the pioneer combat group in air history-the jinx busters of the Lafayette Escadrille
EACH DAY WE DIE By O.B. Myers When Death's watchdogs howl on the ceiling of hell, and the quitters have fled and the luckless have perished, a certain breed of flying man will yet stick to his guns and remember: "Each day we die-but we fly again with the dawn "
DEATH PATROL by Ray P. Shotwell What did it mean, that challenge from doom-laden skies-"Keep out of the air today-or you will die to the last man "
