Sky Fighters was one of the longest running "air" pulps beginning in 1932 and lasting until 1950. An amazing 118 issues were published during that time. Thrilling Publications published this one, along with its two sister aviation magazines Air War and The Lone Eagle. When the magazine began, it featured exciting tales of World War I, written by some of the men who actually flew in the skies above France. The magazine began featuring more contemporary stories as World War II loomed. by 1941, the magazine was entirely taken over by battles of the Allies against the Axis. After the end of the global conflict in 1946, the magazine featured a mixture of old and new tales, some containing aviation adventures not related to the wars. Sky Fighters returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
