Super Hero High Voltage Mask, 1941

JF Ptak Science Books   Quick Post

I just couldn’t resist this.  And I don’t have much to say about it, either, except that it is a killer cover from Popular Mechanics for May 1941. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with my title for this Quick Post or the sub-head of the magazine–the men are dressed in protective gear to deal with high voltage electrical works,  though I have every expectation for these guys to take off with their rocket packs and punch-out Nazi dive bombers.
