Speed Demons #10
Speed Demons #10 is an anthology featuring two main stories. "Speed Demons" involves a dangerous situation where a bus heading straight for a flooded bridge over Haine's Creek during a heavy rainstorm, with a character named Don Shot attempting a daring motorcycle rescue through the treacherous weather. "Milton's Imaginations" is a text feature about a writer named Milton who survives a serious auto accident and discusses safety innovations with a colleague, including ideas for a "repeller" device that would use magnetic principles to prevent vehicle collisions. The issue also includes a story about Major Glenn, a pilot whose jet plane takes off to photograph the California Desert at supersonic speed, with the mission timed to allow him to reach New York by lunchtime.
