The whirlybirds were predators. They ate the vicious animals like tigers and bears. But when their prey was exhausted, they turned to people. Today the crowd cheered from their windows to welcome the convertible, solo-spacecraft.  Five-gun Charles DeCrabbe was flying into town to save the day.

When Whirlybirds Call is a sci-fi short story that was first published by Frank Banta. This reformatted science fiction classic is offered by Eli Jayne for your enjoyment.
