I'd appreciate some help with parsing these:

Substance? Cover it in sauce (8). Solidity? It in solid? what is solidy?

Determined airman, one in number over America. Tenacious? I get ten and us but not the rest.

New companion admitted to proper working club. (9) truncheon?

Thanks in advance!

Solidity -'Lid it' in Soy

N (new) CH (Companion of Honour) in True +On (working)

Cover - lid it and Soy = sauce?
True = proper new -n CH companion of Honour (OK honour) on - working-?

Truncheon...
New = N
Companion - CH (Companion of Honour, I think)
Proper = True
Working = On

Tru n ch e on.

so lid it y = substance (def)
lid - cover
it
soy- sauce

tenacious =determined (def)
ten- number
i- one
ac -airman
US- america

Thanks so much, everyone. Any ideas about the third one?

Already explained - our posts crossed!

Thanks Elle. What about the 'o'?

The O ... from Over in the clue?
