All 170 broadcasts in the series now possess verified daily broadcast dates, standardized aviation-adventure taxonomy, and pure narrative synopses.
Airing between March 30 and April 24, 1936, this concluding 20-episode cohort delivers the thrilling climax of the international counter-espionage campaign and the fulfillment of Ann Burton's career aspirations:
- Naval Submarine Interception (Episodes 151–162): After mechanic Pete modifies the Aircat's exhaust manifolds for stealth night recon, Jack coordinates with coastal naval destroyers. A pattern of depth charges forces the syndicate's getaway submarine to the surface, where armed boarding parties take the ringleaders into custody.
- Tribal Justice & Federal Trial (Episodes 163–165): Ann personally restores Chief Kobu's sacred tribal diamonds in East Angola, cementing an enduring treaty of international friendship. Returning to federal court in Miami, Ann delivers decisive witness testimony that permanently convicts Doc and his co-conspirators.
- Wings of the Hostess (Episodes 166–170): Commended by the federal aviation commissioner in Washington, Ann Burton officially earns her airline hostess wings with top honors for courage and crisis management. In the triumphant series grand finale (Episode 170), Ann takes her post as head flight hostess aboard a gleaming new multi-engine transcontinental airliner with Jack at the controls, soaring into a golden sunset above the clouds.
Reaching 3,141 broadcasts resolved across the master project ledger, four complete series now stand 100% restored (This I Believe, Cecil and Sally, The Planet Man, and Ann of the Airlanes).
