A Dark Lance in the Night
Growing rumours about the 'Iron Lances' squadron are making pirates everywhere think twice, before taking to the skies. Several squadrons Aces have been shot down, and their entire operation shut down. Stories of planes 'Screeching as fast as Lighting!' have been coming back to us here at the Air Action Weekly office. "It was just like any other normal night at the facility [Blake Aviation Security R&D Facility, Colombia], when the night sky shone up as bright as days. Flares everywhere, then a horrible ruckus as bullets and rockets shot past. I saw a few men land from parachutes, run into one of the Hanger, emerge a few minutes later to be picked up by a rope ladder dropped from a plane. They was gone as fast as they came!"
If you have any stories of friends and family being brutally attacked by the 'Iron Lances', send your story in Today!Controversy over Zeppelin Repairs Buy-Out!
"Loose" Lenny Lou, of Lenny Lou's Emporium, Sky Haven, has sparked controversy today, by attempting to buy-out several Zeppelin repair companies in Boulder, Free Colorado. Many mechanics in the area are against the Buy-Out saying, "Why it's worst than centralised Government this is! Some yokel from up in the mountains trying to own our businesses over here, why it's not right!"
One who is being a parituclar thorn in Lenny Lou's side is one Sibenik Bertone, who has refused Lenny Lou's business advances several times now, and has threatened "Violent reprimands, see?" if he continues.
A New Approach to Zeppelin Launchings!
A whole new system of Plane launchings from Zeppelins has been unveiled today! The 'Secret Tunnel System', the S.T.S, or what is quickly becoming know as the 'Flat-Top' design.
Developed by Dr. Tycho, of Dr. Tycho' Speciality Ammunitions, who has now branched out into Zeppelin systems design and is releasing his own magazine, Modern Mechanix, showcasing all the latest inventions in aerial technology (Seen left).

The Zeppelin design in question uses a flattened roof as a landing strip, by cutting away the top 8th of the Zeppelin down its spine, until reaching a conning tower. This leaves a section for the hanger doors and the lift system to put in place.
"It's really quite simple" explains Dr. Tycho, "Planes are still housed in lower belly of the Zeppelin, but are then carried on cranes up to the top of the Zeppelin, where they can taxi out onto the runway, and make their launch"
"Some of my colleagues have criticised my design, because it uses more energy to carry them up to the top, rather than the old technique of using gravity. But we used a crane system instead of a flat lift to save on weight. And all our tests have shown that landings are a lot safe this way, much better than trying to fly into the under belly of a Zeppelin at speed! No, this is the safer aerial launching and recovery system of the future."
More on this story as it develops.
