Captain
Philip Strange battles a mechanical pterodactyl developed by the
Germans to terrify the Allies. Strange claims unnamed “scientists”
believe in the existence of dinosaurs living in “an almost
impassable jungle in South America.” Strange even remembers Harmer,
a Canadian explorer, who talked of a “lost world” in “the upper
Amazon country.” Strange
is referring to Maple White Land from Arthur Conan Doyle’s The
Lost World.

Is this one of the original Philip Strange stories or is this a later work by a modern writer?
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the originals.
DeleteOh cool! There weren't many crossovers in the original pulps so it's interesting when there is one.
