Production
The serial was based on the comic strip by Zack Moseley but it was not in the spirit of the strip as would normally be expected from a Universal production. Very little of the original comic strip was used and a new character, Tommy Thompson, was created by Universal. The similarity to Tommy Tomkins, of the Tailspin Tommy stories, may imply a crossover of sorts. Cline suggests that it was "a quick attempt to get a story on screen about a topical subject, and could have had almost any flyer with any name as a hero.”Chapter titles
- The High Road to Doom
- The Rising Sun Strikes
- Attacked by Bombers
- Knives of Vengeance
- A Watery Grave
- Escape by Clipper
- Fifteen Fathoms Below
- Treachery at Sea
- The Bridge of Peril
- Blackout in the Islands
- Held for Treason
- The Torture Fire Test
- Sinking the Rising Sun
