Series:Air Wonder Stories

Introduction
After Gernsback lost control of Amazing Stories he started a new magazine called Science Wonder Stories, and the next month he started Air Wonder Stories as a companion magazine. Although using the same authors for both magazines, Science Wonder Stories dealt with a broader range of stories than Air Wonder Stories, which was restricted to aviation stories. Both magazines were merged in 1930 as Wonder Stories.
