   * Millionaire playboy [[Del Van Dyne]], fired from a pilot's job at Universal Airlines in New York City, decides to fight for the Royal Air Force (R.A.F.), since America hasn't yet entered the war. Meanwhile, five criminals (safe cracker [[Butch O'Keefe]], cattle-rustler [[Hank]], forger [[Peewee]], con man [[Slick Ward]], and pickpocket [[Gramps]]) escape from prison and try to commandeer Van Dyne's plane, only to find themselves on a trip to England, during which time he convinces the ex-convicts to fight the Nazis instead of returning to America where they'd be marked men. Impressing R.A.F. Col. Rider by stopping a German bombing raid with a single stratoliner, the six impudent men demand their own squadron with their own uniforms. Given a difficult first assignment and expected to fail, the men capture attack plans from Gen. Von Plump at his headquarters in Ostend, then return with only one casualty when Peewee is shot in the back. Col. Rider gives the men the promised uniforms (with prison stripes) and promises support, and they form an independent "Foreign Legion of the air" called the [[Death Patrol]]. Since they take the most difficult assignments the R.A.F. gives them, they often need new recruits as replacements for those who have fallen. //Note: It's possible that some of the Death Patrol's later adventures only take place on Earth-12, as they become progressively more cartoonish and unbelievable.// [Death Patrol, Military Comics #1 (August, 1941)]   * Millionaire playboy [[Del Van Dyne]], fired from a pilot's job at Universal Airlines in New York City, decides to fight for the Royal Air Force (R.A.F.), since America hasn't yet entered the war.
