Link Thorne: The Flying Fool

In this item, Golden Age Comic Book Stories goes back to the roots of its name, posting seven Link Thorne:  The Flying Fool stories from May to December 1947.  I had never heard of this character, but the stories appear to be everything you would expect from a Golden Age comic book story:  tough, handsome hero; loyal girl; action-packed story; etc.
