Captain Aero was a comic series released in 1941, following the stories of Captain Aero and other superheroes of the first generation. Captain Aero is actually the hero to coin the phrase “Keep ‘em flying!” The series is divided into four volumes, one released after the other. However, there’s a bit of confusion on the numbering, since after issue #17 there’s a direct skip to issue #21. The series was finally canceled in 1946 after the war ended when the demand for comics with American heroes fighting Japanese or German forces had decreased, and people were demanding new stories with new genres.
