My guess is he's busy designing a new plane for us! Last time he holed up in there he came out with the honey we're flying now!

Notes

• Blackhawk:
  • Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
    • Chop Chop gets head-konked unconscious, for his third time, with a bottle. At the end of this story his head is still bandaged.
    • Blackhawk falls into the ocean from a great distance, and spends some time with his right foot in a cast and his left arm in a sling. Before this story is over he has recovered completely.
  • Garrote's Flame Planes were virtually bulletproof, because of their fiery coating, but this effect could be neutralized with a heavy dose of carbon dioxide. Blackhawk designed both the Flame Planes and the CO2-extinguisher counter-weapon.
  • The Flame Planes were jets. This was the first recorded combat between the Blackhawk Squadron's 1941-model Grumman XF5F Skyrockets and some first-generation jet fighters.
  • The island base of the Flame Planes was at "Latitude 41, Longitude 116."
• Also appearing in this issue of Modern Comics were:
  • Poodle McDoodle
  • Prudence by Michael Senich
  • "Bongo's Revenge" (text story)
