Government security head Henderson suspects it`s an `atomic ray` originating from the moon! He assigns Commando Cody, scientist and man of action with a secret flying suit, to investigate. Soon, Cody is battling Earth thugs in the pay of Krog the moon man and making trips in his experimental rocket to the moon itself, in a perilous and all but singlehanded effort to thwart the planned invasion of Earth. Takes three hours on DVD. (Video store in San Bernardino, Calif., has a Commando Cody `flying` suit, with its disarmly simple instructions next to dials mounted on the wearer`s chest: UP, DOWN, SLOW, FAST.) 01/18/2004 00:00:00 Name: Ed Crofoot Served as a 30352E at the 602nd in Giebelstadt DE 57-58 and then back to Keesler 59.From there to Bendix for 30 yrs.
