One of the greatest newspaper action adventure newspaper strips of all times was STEVE CANYON, as created by MILTON CANIFF (who formerly had written and created TERRY AND THE PIRATES).  Steve Canyon is a World War II veteran with the Army Air Force Air Transport Command; and, occasionally in civilian life, operates his own worldwide air transport company, Horizons Unlimited, while also serving in the U. S. Air Force Reserve.  Steve's adventures take him around the world, leading him into two-fisted, hard boiled adventures with an intriguing host of friends and enemies.

Steve's hair-raising adventures continue with this episode (December 8, 1952 through May 14, 1953), as he is assigned as Commanding Officer of a US Air Force jet squadron near the small town of Indian Cape, where civilians resent the intrusion of the military in their lives.   Featured in this episode are SUMMER OLSON SMITH, COPPER CALHOON, LIEUTENANT PETER PIPPER, LIEUTENANT MURKY MURPHY, PAMELA "SLIP" ELM, "GEORGIE" GEORGIA, EDDIE GRAM, and RAINN.
