LOL "Sky Marshal of Bronson Canyon!"
Good one JSL.

A lot of the model work was retreaded for several serials as was the jet suit (and I suppose the little trampoline used to launch as well).
The one called "Zombies of the Stratosphere" uses a lot of the Lydecker brothers spaceships from the Commando Cody serial and they are actually pretty good. Even the flying man in the suit is a Lydecker model.
Their stuff was so good because it was so big, something that they used to great effect when working for Irwin Allen and making the Flying Sub look real a decade later. Well, real enough.
Zombies of the Strat also features a young Leonard Nimoy as a Martian.
Now who would believe he could be an alien?
