Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leak all the buildings at a single bound. Look, up on the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane! It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman, and today as Clark can't he is due for a big surprise.

We'll join him with editor Perry White in a moment. But right now Dan McCullough has a question for you. That's right, gang. Today I've got a question for you. It's a technical question, so let's see what you can do with it.

you can do with it. Which plane has four engines? The Douglas C-54 Army Transport are the VOTX-caliber Navy Transport. Well, actually, that's a trick question because both are four engine planes, but I'm sure it didn't stump you, especially if you've been lucky enough to get models of both these planes in Kellogg's pet packages, because that

sort of information is printed right on the back of each model. You see, there's a really keen colored cardboard plane model right inside every single package of that super delicious breakfast cereal Kellogg's Pep. Now there are 14 different models you can get all together, and on the back of each model is a list of valuable pointers about that particular plane.

Two of the models you can get are the Douglas C-54 and the Vautic Scalabur, which I mentioned earlier, and others are the Russian 118, the British Sunderland Flying Boat, the British Handly page, Handen, and the Curtis Helldiver.

Best of all, gang, you don't have to send in a single penny for any of these planes. Not even a box stop. There's a plane right inside every single pet package. So, gang, be sure your mother gets you a package of those golden, delicious whole wheat flakes tomorrow.
