Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
Hurtling from the skies came enemy aircraft spitting Spandau lead. Scenes like these were played out as American airmen took on the Axis war machine. Readers couldn't get enough of aviation magazines and the thrills of action found inside. As war loomed in Europe, nearly a year before the September 1939 invasion of Poland, Columbia Publications (better known as Double-Action Magazines) debuted a new magazine called Air Action. And it truely lived up to its name. Whether it was in the air over Europe or over the islands of the Pacific, this magazine brought the burning thrills of air war to action fans. Air Action magazine was published for three issues until it changed its name to Sky Raiders starting with the August 1939 issue. After three issues under that name, it changed back to Air Action for its final two issues. The magazine dated September 1940 was the final issue. Only eight issues, total, but each containing flaming sky action to satisfy the most particular war-action reader. Air Action returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

Buzzards Don’t Use Tracers
