"Borrowing one of the nicknames given to Charles Lindbergh following his nonstop flight from New York to Paris, Standard Magazines released THE LONE EAGLE. Telling the heroic adventures of Air Intelligence Agent John Masters, "the world's greatest Sky Fighter, " the pulp debuted in the late summer of 1933. "Masters showed a natural affinity for a stuttering machine-gun and as his natural proficiency increased, he built up a dark and terrible reputation about his name. He became the 'Lone Eagle' of the skies . . . He showed an indomitable courage and a dynamic driving power, in pushing to a successful conclusion his secret missions. Many men feared him, many hated himan occasional one loved him. "Those words, written by F. E. Rechnitzer, appeared in "No Man's Air, " the lead novel in the first issue of the new hero pulp. A former World War I Allied pilot and prisoner-of-war, Rechnitzer is believed to have written many of the adventures of The Lone Eagle, hidden behind the "Lt. Scott Morgan" house name; Robert Sidney Bowen probably contributed most of the later novels. In all, 75 tales of "the world's greatest Sky Fighter" would appear through the spring of 1943, when the magazine would fly off into the sunset as THE AMERICAN EAGLE." (from Pulpfest).
