Dedicated to America's fighting airmen, Wings magazine brought high-flying adventure and thrills to millions of readers. Fighting Aces of war skies! Coming from Wings Publishing Co., a subsidiary of Fiction House (also known for its Jungle Stories pulp), Wings made its debut in January of 1928 and featured stories from the war-torn skies of Europe during World War I. The magazine kept up with the times, and as World War II approached, the bi-planes were replaced by sleeker monoplane models, and the antagonists changed from the Kaiser's air forces to those of the Axis. Wings magazine continued to be published on a quarterly basis for an astounding twenty-five years, until the final one in the spring of 1953. During that time, 133 issues were published, each offering the derring-do of America's mighty war birds and the men who flew them. Wings returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
