FREDERICK BLAKESLEE is probably best known for his many aviation covers he painted for Popular Publication’s line of air pulps—Dare-Devil Aces, Battle Birds, Battle Aces, Fighting Aces and, of course, G-8 and his Battle Aces. But Blakeslee occasionally did covers for many other magazines, including three for Flying Aces in the summer of 1930!

Flying Aces didn’t always have a story behind their covers in the early years. Only one of the three Blakeslee covers had a bit of a write-up on it—the August issue—which he have previously posted here. It’s just great to see all three covers together!
