The Tailspin Tommy comic also became a subject for four Monogram feature movies and two, twelve-part serials along with a radio series, Big Little books, several pulp magazines and comic books. The comic strip appeared in as many as 250 newspapers and was carried on color Sunday comic pages. Most of this pen and ink "action" took place during the 1930s and the strip died out in 1942 with a minor reappearance of a comic book in 1946. Being first is always a precarious honor and eventually becomes a challenge as it engenders competition. Tailspin Tommy occupies an important spot in aviation history and is worthy of collection - thousands of young men labored over their model airplanes and enjoyed the aerial adventures of comic characters as the youth of America became "air minded" and were unknowingly prepared for the major conflict of World War 2.
