“The President’s son will be returned if you send us Captain Ayres in exchange.” From the enemy camp came this message. And as Dusty answered, he knew he was starting on the greatest mission of the war, was going to play a lone hand against the Black Invaders, who sought to crush America beneath their barbarous wings! Once again, America’s greatest war pilot is thrust into a sky duel with his arch-foe, The Black Hawk. But this time the prize is not Dusty’s life, but that of an eleven-year-old boy whose brain held the secrets of his powerful father—the Commander in Chief of the United States! Crimson Doom was originally published in the August, 1934 issue of Dusty Ayres and his Battle Birds magazine. Including three thrilling short stories, “The Floating Phantom,” “The Silver Caterpillar” and “The Death Bomber.”
