Space Hero Saturdays CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT "...visits the Golden Asteroid"

Like fellow WWII aviator Captain Aero...

...Captain Midnight made the transition from fighter pilot to spaceship pilot while keeping his shirt on...unlike Captain Aero!
Two plot points:
1) Weird that the villain didn't recognize Captain Midnight as Captain Albright...even though the hero's face was uncovered!
It's not like Cap had his helmet's goggles down over his eyes or somesuch...
2) While I can believe Cap's costume is pressurized, why is everyone else in street clothes...in the vacuum of space?
As of this tale in Fawcett's Captain Midnight #48 (1947), while the aviator would still battle criminals and spies, there would be a story set in space in almost every issue until the book ended its' run...along with two new ongoing alien foes, Jagga the Space Raider and Xog the Ruler of Saturn!
Watch for them!
