this binder No. 6 Eagle Annual (printed in 1956) sees the Science section
mostly replaced by Engineering and more Adventure Strips
at the expense of less real life stories,
the models that you can build start to become
a lot more complex and detailed,
the inner and outer covers are now back
to being considered part of the page count

the binder consists of stories, adventure strips
(among them Dan Dare and riders of the range),
sport, real life adventures, hobbies,
engineering, humorous strips and various articles

selected highlights:
- Dan Dare's story entitled Operation Silence
- Harris Tweed takes a pleasure cruise
- learn about vertical take off aircraft
- mystify your friends with telepathy
- make a crystal set
