America's premiere adventure comic strip thunders to its pre-war crescendo
in an October, 1941 storyline so powerful creator Milton Caniff was forced to
take to the radio airwaves to explain why he chose to shock the nation with the
death of a major character. In the 1942 strips, the World War drives Terry Lee
to join the military, where he meets nurse Taffy Tucker and Army flight
instructor Flip Corkin, then gets into plenty of trouble investigating a spy
ring! And then there's the women - the strong, beautiful and independent
Caniff women!
