Stories based on actual people and events. The most interesting story is "Aviation Wonder Kid," which is about teen-ager Martin Caiden, who impressed (and worried) military intelligence with his extensive knowledge of aviation secrets (they thought he even may have been a spy). Caiden went on to become a prolific author, including writing the novel "Cyborg," which was the basis for the popular 70s TV show "The Six Million Dollar Man"! Cover price $0.10.
