Escape from Loki

This Spanish-language pulp magazine features "Huida de Loki" (Flight from Loki) by Philip J. Farmer, an aerial combat narrative set during World War I. The story follows Lieutenant Clark Savage, a sixteen-year-old Allied fighter pilot flying a Nieuport 28 biplane on March 31, 1918. After evading German pursuit aircraft by entering clouds near the French front, Savage finds himself disoriented and flying inverted before recovering control. Spotting German observation balloons (Drachenbällon) behind enemy lines, he impulsively decides to attack despite low fuel and defensive fire. The narrative details his low-altitude assault through intense anti-aircraft artillery and machine-gun fire, his aircraft sustaining damage as he executes evasive maneuvers across the cratered battlefield. He successfully attacks the first observation balloon with incendiary rounds, destroying it and forcing its observers to jump. The text breaks off mid-sentence as Savage approaches a second balloon under continued heavy fire with his aircraft severely damaged.
