“The Reel Hero” by Joe Archibald
“HAW-W-W-W-W!”
That sound can only mean one thing—that Bachelor of Artifice, Knight of Calamity and an alumnus of Doctor Merlin’s Camelot College for Conjurors is back to vex not only the Germans, but the Americans—the Ninth Pursuit Squadron in particular—as well. Yes it’s the marvel from Boonetown, Iowa himself—Lieutenant Phineas Pinkham!
Lights! Camera! Action! Phineas “Carbuncle” Pinkham goes into the movies in a big way! But a lot can happen to a roll of film when Phineas gets up in the air posing as . . . .”The Reel Hero!”
From the September 1932 number of Flying Aces!
