Publication Year: 1929 Language: EnglishAir Wonder Stories are beautiful, larger sized (8 1/2" x 11 1/2") good quality pulps published by Stellar Publishing Co. with Hugo Gernsback as the editor-in chief. The covers are by Paul, top science fiction artist of the time. Each is full of great vintage science fiction and aviation writers with articles such as "What is your aviation knowledge?" This auction offers 3 very early publications, all in similar good condition. Individual flaws will be mentione with the issue.
Vol. 1#1 (July 1929) featured Lowell H. Morrow and starts the series "The Ark of the Covenant"by Victor MacClure. There is a fold line down the middle of the front cover, but it lays flat. Very small fold in lower right corner. The back cover has slight worn out areas under 1/4" along the bottom of the outer edge. There is slight separation of the back cover down 3" from the top of the spine.
Vol. 1 #3 (September 1929) featured aviation stories by Bob Olson, Harl Vincent, and Lowell Howard Morrow. There is a hardly noticeable fold line diagonally along the top right hand corner, 6 1/2" long, 2" deep at the outer edge.
Vol. 2 #1 (June 1930) featured Captain S. P. Meek, George Paul Bauer, Walter Kateley, and Henrik Dahl Juve. The front cover has tiny (under 1/4") wear/tear along the bottom edge and the top right corner is missing about 1/8". The back cover, lower left corner, has small missing section about 1/4" deep and under 1" long, plus there is a slight separation from the top of the spine down 2".
All 3 of these issues really are in good condition considering their age and that they are pulps. The illustrations, stories, articles, authors, etc. etc. are fabulous and are wonderful primary source material for any researcher. These are very collectible and nice issues.
