By the early 1940s, St. John was editor of the 17-issue magazine "Flying Cadet" (Jan. 1943 – Oct. 1944). Like "Model Builder", it mixed editorial prose with comics-style instructional featurettes. That changed with its final issue, a standard comic book that included fictional adventure ("Buzz Benson" by Maurice Whitman and George Kapitan; "Lt. Lela Lang", art by Kapitan, about a female bomber pilot) and humor ("Grease Pan Gus") features. The company — also called Flying Cadet — additionally published "American Air Forces" #1 (Oct. 1944), as well as some issues of "Dynamic Comics" and "Punch Comics".
