From Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, to PC 49, Harris Tweed, Extra Special Agent and Jeff Arnold in Riders of the Range, The Eagle carried numerous strips right from its launch in 1950 through to the sixties. The fourpence-halfpenny weekly also featured plenty of sports coverage and the famous ‘cutaway’ diagrams of battle ships, steam trains, light aircraft, etc. The memory-tapping selection included in this book combine as a superior object of desire for boys, lads and dads - and, we are told, girls - everywhere. 176 pages HB
