HISTORY

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.

HISTORY 


Corporal Allen Ray Hornet was chosen as a test subject in another of the United States Government's special defense programs. A new steroid gave him increased strength (although it also increased his natural aggressiveness). He was promoted to Captain and assigned as the President's bodyguard, but shortly after, the United States was immersed in World War II and President Roosevelt decided that Hornet would be more useful on the front lines and after a new promotion (to major), he was assigned his own division (FLAG - Foreign Land Action Group) and a new uniform. The Man o' FLAG joined the Battle Squadron, the sub-group called The Fighting Force. He was active both on the home front, foiling enemy sabotage missions, and in the South Pacific fighting Imperial Japanese forces. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

The Man o' FLAG was an exceptional fighter, with guns, with the knife or with his bare hands. The experimental steroid injected into him increased his strength and resistance to physical harm to a superhuman level. It also increased his aggressiveness, which sometimes caused him more than one problem... FLAG had Uncle Sam's best equipment, such as a hybrid tank-coupe that served as a personal transport for major Hornet.
