a tribute to an actual event: this aircraft - still in the process of being tested - chased a solar eclipse over Africa for 70 minutes in 1973

(I love the space-related optimism/concerns, especially)

@aiyeethesquid I re-read this recently. a hell of a lot packed into just three issues. IMO, would have loved this paced out into a more cinematic longer series

@ahistoryinart it looks like this is titled "Idrovolanti Savoia Marchetti" ("Savoia Marchetti seaplanes"), and Giulio depicted these [S.55] aircraft - that took part in historic long distance formation flights between 1931-1933 - several times

@Hush_Kit breaking my hiatus to wish you well in your talk later

@EJRFoto there was this five-parter from Garth Ennis back in 2015 which was...VERY Garth Ennis..

eventually, ancient alien visitations and flying saucers entered the equation - and Allen had arrived at a project called THE PRIMEVALS. while it seems that it still retained the "lost world discovered" opening concept, the fate of the ZEP V DACTS scene is uncertain

an amazing poster from Universal Pictures Corporation's "Box Office Book 1932-1933"

however, it looks like this movie was never made, and is not related to a 1927 movie of the same name (starring Sir Alan Cobham!)

in the early 1970s, Piasecki pitched a helistat design to the US Forest Service - who were looking for new (and green) logging systems. They funded the PA-97 project, settling on a config of 4x Sikorsky H-34J fuselages
