“She teased Richthofen into a bundle of nerves. What burning promises were in those passionate letters she sent, that unnerved Richthofen to his ultimate doom?”

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (1892 – 1918), better known as “The Red Baron,” was a fighter pilot with the German Air Force during World War I. He is considered the ace-of-aces of the war, being officially credited with 80 air combat victories. Richthofen received a fatal wound just after 11:00 am on April 21, 1918 while flying over Mortancourt Ridge near the Somme River in France.

“When I saw the barricade across the jungle road I told Maria there was nothing to worry about – I’d turn the jeep around and we’d drive back to Monrovia.

“But I was lying. I was plenty worried. A Liberian jungle is no place for a white girl. That part of Africa hasn’t been influenced by civilization; among other primitive capers the witch doctors still make borfina, a brew that is supposed to possess supernatural powers, from livers gouged out of living humans.

“I braked to stop, preparing to do a fast turnaround. I didn’t make it. About 30 yowling, painted-faced natives ran out of the jungle on both sides of the road. I jerked out my .45 and fast-dropped 6 of those clowns. But I didn’t have a chance to reload. The survivors pulled Maria and me out of the jeep and prodded us, at spear-point, into the jungle . . .”

“The white rhino was coming at me, charging for the kill. The long sharp horn in his evil snout came at me with terrible speed.”

“The tortured screams were driving me insane but I was caught in the coils of the monster and she was squeezing me to death.”

“They stripped me of everything – even the chance to kill myself. My mind became numb, and there was no reality.”

Kendell Foster Crossen (July 25, 1910 – November 29, 1981) was an American pulp fiction and science fiction writer. He was the creator and writer of stories about the Green Lama (a pulp and comic book hero) and the Milo March detective and spy novels.

His pen names included Richard Foster, Bennett Barlay, Kent Richards and Clay Richards, Christopher Monig (the name of the ghost of the town of Crossen on the Oder), and M.E. Chaber (from the Hebrew word mechaber, meaning author). Some bylines use the abbreviated name Ken Crossen. He is said to have written over 400 radio and television dramas, some 300 short stories, 250 non-fiction articles and around forty-five novels.[Source: Wikipedia]

“They clicked and scuttled obscenely as they tore the broken crab apart – then they turned toward us. It was fool’s gold, and we were the fools.”

“The American came roaring out of the mine shaft like a thunderbolt, wading into the banditos with his shovel.”

A roustabout Yank adventurer, he’d fought the world’s cruelest Indians and bloodthirsty banditos to hack out a $10-million fortune in nuggets. But his chances of getting out of the jungle alive weren’t worth ten cents.

“There’s almost $1,000,000 worth of emeralds resting in eight feet of black water. There’s also one skeleton.”

“Red gunboat – get back under before they see you,” Tess yelled, grabbing the valise out of Kane’s hand.

Soldier-of-fortune Andy Kane specialized in smuggling illicit cargo into every hellhole on the South China coast – but he’d never hauled anything as explosive as this sizzling bundle of curves called Tess.

“Strike-it-rich” Jack Martin was sitting on a $10-million fortune in nuggets – but getting out of the Amazon jungle alive was another matter.

“There is no escape from these beasts,” the girl cried, “We are just human sacrifices!”

The Nazis knew many ways to destroy their enemies, but none was as inhuman or as vicious as the contest they held between wild animals and human beings.

[Editor’s Note: The G.I. invasion of North Africa, the greatest single maneuver is military history, was made possible by the unseen, unpublicized work of allied agents who watched the coast for Nazi build-up. Former agent George Slingson, assigned to that area during the war, is now able to tell this unclassified story.]

“When I’m through chain-whipping you,” the gang queen snarled, “you’ll wish you never tried to take my man away from me!”

When a girl can take over and lead a gang of street punks, she not only must be tough – she must be smart.

[Editor’s Note: The author was assigned by the Association for the Abatement of Juvenile Crime to join a typical New York gang so as to be able to recommend from first-hand experience ways to fight juvenile delinquency.

They were sent from a Red hell on earth to what could have become a paradise in outer space.

“In this world,” he thought to himself , “or any other –I will never again see such loveliness!”

What a great piece of fiction for conspiracy-mongers: The first cosmonaut to return safely from orbit was not a Russian but an American who was a clandestinely-held prisoner, and he was accompanied on his journey into space by a Russian woman . . . LOL

She still clutched the torn frock to hide her nakedness: “Harim, I tried to tell him—” [Text accompanying the illustration]

Hell Mission of a G.I. Spy
A cutthroat’s knife and a woman’s wild flesh sent the man called Paulsen through the dark underbelly of the Casbah – to trigger World War II’s bloodiest holocaust.

Men's adventure is a genre of magazine that was published in the United States from the 1940s until the early 1970s. Catering to a male audience, these magazines featured pin-up girls and lurid tales of adventure that typically featured wartime feats of daring, exotic travel or conflict with wild animals. The interior tales usually claimed to be true stories. Women in distress were commonly featured in the painted covers or interior art, often being menaced or tortured.

Artist Norman Saunders was the dean of illustrators for these magazines. Many illustrations that were uncredited were done by Bruce Minney, Norm Eastman, Gil Cohen, Mel Crair, Basil Gogos, and Vic Prezio among others. Author Bruce Jay Friedman was a men's sweat writer-editor, and Mario Puzo was a contributor before he became a well-known novelist. Pierre Boulle, Ray Bradbury, Erskine Caldwell, Ian Fleming, Robert F. Dorr and Mickey Spillane also contributed short stories or novel excerpts to men's adventure magazines. [Source: Wikipedia]
