With the entry of America into World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the publishers of pulp magazines entered the war effort with all guns a-blazing! One of the smaller Chicago-based publishers was Manvis Publications, which published (under the company name of Western Fiction Publishing Co.) Mystery Tales, Dynamic Science Stories, Detective Mysteries, Marvel Tales and others. In the spring of 1942, the first issue of American Sky Devils showed up on the newsstands with a cover date of July 1942. It was propaganda at its most blatant, aimed at boosting the nation's morale and giving those sitting around the home fires something to root for, during the dark early days of the global conflict. It was released bi-monthly for a total of six issues, finally closing with the July 1943 issue. American Sky Devils returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
