Buck Rogers features anti-gravity belts. The "Skylark" stories do not. Why do you think this cover illustrates the latter? Uucp (talk) 21:33, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Skylark of Space does have an anti-gravity belt. That's Seaton's prototype anti-gravity device. Then he starts building a spaceship. --John Nagle (talk) 05:39, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From the Amazing Stories August 1928 contents page:

"Our Cover this month depicts a scene from the first installment in this issue of the story entitled THE SKYLARK OF SPACE by Edward Elmer Smith and Lee Hawkins Garby, in which the scientist, who has discovered a chemical substance for the liberation of intra-atomic energy, is making his initial tests, preparatory to his interplanetary flight by means of this liberated energy, which makes possible his interstellar space-flyer." -- SWTPC6800 (talk) 05:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
