Notes

  • Queen of Blackhawk Island
    • Blackhawk wears a Geiger Counter in his belt.
    • Blackhawk invents a high-frequency beam to stimulate memory cells.
    • Blackhawk gets head-punched unconscious. This is his sixty-eighth concussion.[1]
    • Blackhawk Island has an auto-radar anti-aircraft gun, and some Nike anti-missile missiles.
    • In the woods on Blackhawk Island is a pit, about the same size and shape as a grave but deeper, where the Blackhawks dump radioactive waste from their atomic experiments.
    • The Blackhawks all sleep in the same open-berth barracks.
    • Captain Wolf and his crew wear Red Star insignia on their hats, and the villains wear military uniforms, but they do not call each other "Comrade" or boast about Communism.
    • Captain Wolf's submarine is sunk with all hands.
  • Underground Menace
    • Blackhawk Island has a seismographic laboratory, and Stanislaus is a very capable seismologist.
    • Western Europe is extensively undermined, at a depth of five miles, with Russian tunnels, lined with railway tracks. A company of rebel Polish miners has promised to destroy the tunnels. They possess Vladimir Delski's Giant Drill, so this promise is not unrealistic.
