Notes
- Doolittle's Bombing Raid
- Tokyo is spelled as "Tokio" in this story's captions and dialogue.
- Doolittle's military unit, at the time of the raid, is not identified. The USS Hornet, which got Doolittle's bombers within striking range of Japan, is not mentioned in this story. China, where most of Doolittle's planes landed, and Russia, where the other one landed, are also not mentioned in this story. It was published in 1942, and a lot of things were secret, then, that would be public knowledge later; evidently these were some of those.
- Last page also features a one-panel promo of Lieut. Edward O'Hare.
- Mongrol Man
- There are three Mongrol Men, despite the title. These monsters are the third generation of a science project by Jeremiah Korntooth, superhuman in size and strength, and bulletproof. One is killed by lassoing him, by the neck, from an airplane, and hanging him under a waterfall. One sinks in quicksand. The third is swimming in the ocean when a burning fighter plane crashes into him.
- Uncle Sam's plane is a 2-engine bomber, of no recognizable type, with pre-WWII U.S. military markings and a large white numeral "4" on the fuselage.
- Pootzie the Spy
- Adolf and Herman talk with katzenjammer accents.
- Uncle Sam has a disguise-making make-up kit, and can radically alter his appearance. In this story he impersonates Adolf Hitler.
- At this story's end, Pootzie and his three spy buddies are all safely back in Germany and still at large.
- Hitler is in his countryside hide-out when Uncle Sam, in a stolen Stuka, drops a bomb on it, and the caption raises the question of whether he survived. But apparently he survived.
