Missing Phantasm
     Phantasm due to be delivered was allegedly stolen from train upon transport! Failed to believe Engineer at first, then I saw the bullet holes in the train. Such beautiful mayhem! Any information leading to its recovery will receive a hefty reward upon its safe return!

Fully Automatic, Fully Unloads in Bar Fight Sky Haven!
30. Cal. Browning, the murder weapon
     An armed bar fight in Sky Haven is nothing knew, but few bring  a fully automatic Browning along! Bar patrons noticed gun shots being fired by a red-haired girl at a Hispanic casanova.
     Little was thought of it until rounds struck Black Hat members and blaze of hot lead rocketed across the bar! 'The Browning Bastard' as he's become know covered their speedy escape in a Ford Hoplite with the rotor running outside. A failed hit and run? Or is there a deeper plot at work?

Flying Coffin Zinfandel Beats Calibre and the Titan!
     These are indeed are days when a man can make a dream come true! Who would've thought that two French businessmen, freshly arrived in the Nation of Hollywood, could make a beer so successful?
Now the bestselling Beer west of the Appalachians
Flying Coffin Zinfandel serves the only beer "you can use to fuel an airplane as well as its pilot", boasting a higher Ethanol percentage than some Appalachian Fuel stops!
     The aggressive and near piratical advertising campaign heralded the fastest out-selling of a liqueur since Calibre Beer started up almost 10 years ago. Recently Titan Ale has been trying to knock them off their top spot for the past few years which resulted in an aerial dogfight the other week! Now they may have to put their differences aside to deal with this new threat.
     "These boys really know how to sell a product" said Johnny Johnson, Hollywood dandy and the Big-Shot next to Howard Hughes of 'Hughes Aviation', "I think it's fantastic how our friends from across the pond, can follow the American Dream, and make a name for themselves, right here, in the Nation of Hollywood!"

Request for Information
    A squadron known as the Iron Falcons have been operating in the area of the CFS, and are believed to have headed to Sky Haven. These individuals are wanted by the Texas Air Marshals for questioning, and will be given a fair trial.
   Information leading to their arrest will be rewarded and kept strictly confidential.

Nitro! The secret is out!
Mechanics at work at BAS base in Pacifica
   It's been a well guarded secret and giant leap in the advancement of aviation, but now the truth is out! Blake Aviation Security, in co-operation with Dr. Fassenbinder (inventor of the Flash Rocket) and his daughter Ilsa Fassenbinder, have spent several years developing a way to get more from existing engines. The answer they come up with was Nitro!
   Using a mixture of Nitrous-Oxide gas injected into the engines combustion chamber, causes more bang for your buck! Giving pilots a temporary boost to speed and engine performance.
   The technology was being kept under raps in order to give pirates a surprise, but no doubt it was giving BAS an advantage over other security firms, many of who are angered by BAS lack of assistance in bringing pirates to justice.
   However, the other reason for such secrecy has been uncovered by our investigative journalists, who have heard talk of Fassenbinder being kidnapped by none other than Nathan Zachary of the Fortune Hunters. And if that wasn't enough, it is rumoured that other pirate sqaudrons now have their hands on this new technology!

Repair Facility Attacked
    In the border regions of the Free State of Colorado, a new state of the art Zeppelin Dry Dock and Repair Facility was due to open. However, the day before a squad of renegades tore the place apart! The company manager wouldn't comment, but our sources claim that the investors have pulled out and the facility is to be discontinued.
    In addition to widespread devastation, several individuals have gone missing and the company are looking for their return at any price. Reply c/o Air Action weekly.
