Captain Midnight #13

Captain Albright's revolutionary Jules Verne Express—a plane capable of circling the globe non-stop in just 80 hours—is ready for its history-making flight, but enemy agents disguised as an "America Alert Committee" will stop at nothing to ground it. When Captain Midnight takes the controls alongside his crew, he discovers a stowaway and learns the entire Axis power is mobilized to sabotage the mission at every turn. Can he navigate the world's most treacherous gauntlet and complete the unprecedented journey?

Captain Midnight investigates the mysterious crash of an unscheduled bomber that went down near Seattle—a plane with eight men aboard, deliberately sabotaged with acid and jammed doors. When he discovers the wreckage wasn't carrying what everyone expected, his deductions point him toward the remote town of Gnawbone, Utah, where answers—and danger—are waiting. With Nazi agents closing in and an amateur detective determined to tag along, Captain Midnight races to uncover the truth behind the plane with a load of nothing.

When a British reconnaissance pilot spots what appears to be the supposedly-sunken Bismarck hiding in a Norwegian fjord, Captain Midnight and his assistant Chuck are called in with experimental magnetic bombs to investigate and neutralize the threat. But as the phantom battleship vanishes and reappears with uncanny speed, Captain Midnight discovers the Nazis are orchestrating an elaborate trap—and Chuck's incoming plane is flying straight into danger. It takes all of Captain Midnight's cunning to outwit Major von Krool and expose the truth behind the ghostly warship before his friend becomes collateral damage in the enemy's deadliest scheme.
