Over in the left had side of the story panels, you'll find a new section for The Stalwart Universe. Jane Stalwart and the Lost World Ch1 has been posted there. It's not entirely edited, but that's the complete story for now. I've moved The Cock of Osiris and The Nosy Housewife and the Last of the Mad Nazi Scientists under there as well.
I will be doing some minor edits to the Cock of Osiris to make the COCK a Vril artifact.
I will also be doing some bigger edits to the Nosy Housewife to make her enhancement and bimboification Vril related. Since this was a pulp damsel in distress story, I've opted to move it into the Stalwart Universe even though it is set in the early 1980s. I'm thinking about Jane encountering a younger Von Horne in one of her adventures, perhaps even as head of the Vril Society. Ludwig the dwarf might even have been a Nazi super soldier, zapped by a Vril shrink ray at some point.
Chapter One Notes:
This story is in the style of the pulps and as such it will
be filled with pulp tropes.
Jane is British and would use the metric system, but I’m
American and sticking with the more inferior Imperial system.
The Tuskegee airmen did train in B-26 bombers, but to the
best of my knowledge, they only flew fighters during combat operations in the
E.T.O. Their job was to escort bombers and they did that job very well. The
names of the crew of the “Blackbird” are composites of real Tuskegee airmen.
Nylon hose came on the market in May of 1940 and sold
750,000 pairs the first day. Silk (imported from Japan), Rayon, and cotton
stockings were also worn, but less popular. The materials were in heavy demand
during the war for use as parachutes, gun bags, and more. The government
commandeered the supply of silk in 1941 and Dupont’s supply of nylon in 1942.
Women were encouraged to donate all their torn silk or nylon hose for the war
effort, hence Jane’s tossing her torn stockings at General Harris. The thought
of going without stockings was unheard of to most women and many resorted to
using eyebrow pencils to paint fake lines down the backs of their legs as Jane
observes on Lisa Smith when she walks away.
“This isn’t my first rain shower,” is a British expression.
I wanted to use “This isn’t my first rodeo,” but apparently that expression
came into the vernacular with the movie “Mommie Dearest” in 1981.
Military boxer brief underwear were known as shorts during the
time period.
The giant long necked pterosaurs are Quetzalcoatlus. They
were not discovered until 1971 so Jane and Bullock were unfamiliar with the
species.
