Flyin' Jenny
''Flyin' Jenny'' was an aviation adventure comic strip created by illustrator Russell Keaton and distributed to newspapers by Bell Syndicate from October 2, 1939, to July 20, 1946. Publication history Launched in October 1939, ''Flyin' Jenny'' was published both as a daily and Sunday strip, each running a separate storyline. Gladys Parker drew ''Flyin' Jenny'' from 1942 until 1944, when Keaton's assistant Marc Swayze took over. After Keaton died in 1945 (at the age of 35), Swayze and scripter Glenn Chaffin made an effort to continue the strip, but it became difficult to devise adventures equal to those of the World War II years. The strip began to lose its popularity, and was discontinued in 1946. Characters and story Initially a test pilot at the Starcraft Aviation Factory, Jenny encountered spies, saboteurs and criminals. Since the strip began simultaneously with the start of World War II, Jenny was active in wartime escapades. Keaton's widow, Virginia Keaton Anderson, reca ...

Lee De Forest
Lee de Forest (August 26, 1873 â€“ June 30, 1961) was an American inventor and a fundamentally important early pioneer in electronics. He invented the first electronic device for controlling current flow; the three-element "Audion" triode vacuum tube in 1906. This started the Electronic Age, and enabled the development of the electronic amplifier and oscillator. These made radio broadcasting and long distance telephone lines possible, and led to the development of talking motion pictures, among countless other applications. He had over 300 patents worldwide, but also a tumultuous career— he boasted that he made, then lost, four fortunes. He was also involved in several major patent lawsuits, spent a substantial part of his income on legal bills, and was even tried (and acquitted) for mail fraud. Despite this, he was recognised for his pioneering work with the 1922 IEEE Medal of Honor, the 1923 Franklin Institute Elliott Cresson Medal and the 1946 American Institute of ...
