Description
Captain Midnight (later rebranded on TV as Jet Jackson, Flying Commando) is a U.S. adventure franchise originally broadcast as a radio serial from 1938 to 1949. The character's popularity throughout the 1940s and into the mid-1950s extended to serial films (1942), a television show (1954–1956), a syndicated newspaper strip (1942 – late 1940s), and a comic book title (1942–1948). The title character, originally Captain Jim "Red" Albright, was a World War I U.S. Army pilot. His Captain Midnight code name was given by a general who sent him on a high-risk mission, from which he returned at the stroke of 12. Initially, Albright was a private aviator who helped people, but in 1940, an origin story explained how Albright was recruited to lead the Secret Squadron, an aviation-oriented paramilitary organization fighting sabotage and espionage prior to the United States' entry into World War II. When the United States was attacked at Pearl Harbor, which curiously was foreshadowed in the program, the show shifted the Secret Squadron's duties to fight the more unconventional aspects of the war. After the war, some newer villains used war surplus equipment to carry out their activities and Secret Squadron shifted to contend with these criminals as well as hunting spies. The action continued internationally, with adventures in South America and Africa, as well as within the United States.

Sizing
Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you're on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
