Up, Up and Away with Superman!
The Startling Story of “Cameras in the Clouds.”
In a tribute to the cameramen that capture history for newsreels, this issue finds two former military photographers going into business for themselves with the use of cutting-edge technology: a disguised blimp! Lois is suspicious of the deceptive dirigible right away, and Superman begrudgingly investigates, only to discover the ace reporter is right. When the GI reporters are subsequently sabotaged by an evil rival newsreel company, the Man of Steel races against light and time to ensure they get their timely news footage.
