Next Wednesday The first complete, authentic record of the war-time deeds of America’s fearless aviators is told in narrative form by John Knox, who weaves the account of their awe-inspiring heroism into this FACT-STORY—printed for the first time in ¥ Beginning Wednesday, January 4th’ | —and Continuing Every Evening and Sunday John Knox takes you in flight with the men of the Lafayette Escadrille who wrote history in the clouds above the battle lines in France. Climb into the cockpit of an A. E. F. pursuit plane—and soar over the enemy lines—dealing death—fighting its way to victory. From beginning to end it’s a gripping narrative of our time—with our favorite aces as the heroes. A very personal story—told in a masterly way—and FOUNDED ON FACTS. There have been reams written about the World War—but it remains for John Knox to relate the part played in the great conflict by the Airmen of America. ‘“Aces Up” is more thrilling than any fiction—because it is based on facts —gleaned from the hitherto secret military archives of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany—and as the episodes still linger in the vivid memory of surviving War Eagles and their commanders.
