Weird Tales Nov 1927 – 'The Invading Horde' Aviator Rescues Woman on Shore

On a storm-lashed shoreline, a goggled aviator in a leather flight suit hauls an unconscious woman away from crashing waves, urgency etched into every line of his stance. A fallen alien or enemy helmet lies discarded on the dock behind them — a sinister clue to the invading force of Arthur J. Burks' featured story. The turbulent dark-blue sea and dramatic composition telegraph classic pulp rescue tension at its most visceral.
