United States Fighting Air Force No. 2 (November 1952)
This is a vintage comic book titled 'United States Fighting Air Force,' specifically issue No. 2, published in November 1952. The cover features a vibrant yellow background with bold red and blue typography typical of the Golden/Silver Age transition. The central illustration depicts a stylized dogfight between a pilot in flying gear (helmet, goggles, and shearling collar) and jet aircraft with various markings, including red stars suggesting Cold War era adversaries. Physical condition is poor to fair; the cover shows significant structural wear with a large diagonal tear and a missing piece at the upper right corner. There is visible edge wear, creasing, and spine stress throughout. The paper exhibits tanning or browning, consistent with the high-acid pulp paper used during the 1950s. The 10-cent original price and the 'Superior' publishing logo are visible. This item is a classic example of 1950s war comics featuring aviation-themed storytelling and patriotic imagery from the Korean War era.
