HISTORY

July, 1942. 

Flyboy was Davey Nelson, the son of an expert pilot and an excellent young flyer himself. After becoming an orphan, Davey was raised in a monastery in Capistrano, California. He became friends with a well respected Franciscan monk named Brother Francis Martier. David helped to inspire Martier in designing a precision aircraft, hoping it would be his contribution to the world. Martier worked obsessively, and secured a loan in order to create a prototype aircraft. However, Martier was killed while test-flying it, because its fuel lines had been sabotaged. Davy swore to rebuild the craft, and he did. Doning a uniform, Davey soon named himself Flyboy and his new plane 'Birdie'. He helped the Allies during World War II, and soon earned the respect of enemy fliers.

He joined the Battle Squadron and the Fighting Force, and became good friends with Skywolf. 

POWERS & WEAPONS

Flyboy's plane, Birdie, was equiped with dual machine guns, its wheels could grasp other aircraft, and it could be controlled by a voice activated remote control, under Davey's lapel. It was able to home in on Flyboy and may have had some limited degree of artifical intelligence. Flyboy himself was an innovative mechanic and an ace fighter pilot. He was also a skilled fighter.
