General Electric (GE) produced a series
of informational technical publications in comic book format back in the 1950s.
One was entitled "Adventures in Jet Power," released in 1950, 1955, and 1960. GE
has been a major producer of jet engines for commercial and military aircraft for
many decades. After doing an extensive search for full versions of the comics, I
finally found this 1950 issue posted on
The
Fabulous Fifties website. Thumbnail versions of each page are given below, with
hyperlinks to the full-size original scans. I didn't want to copy the publisher's
work, so instead I went to the Archive.org website and had
The Wayback Machine grab copies of each page for posterity sake, in case The
Fabulous Fifties website ever goes away. None had been previously archived. Other
of the Adventure Series included "Adventures in Electricity," "Adventures into the
Past," Adventures Inside the Atom," and "Adventures in Electronics." Here is a good
list of all of the
GE Adventure Series
comics. Many of these comic books can be bought on
eBay, and they are not cheap!
