Golden Age Origin Edit

As Skywolf, Larry Wolfe wore a white wolf pelt into battle and headed a three-man flier team. Members of the team include Cocky Roche, who was a cockney, and the Judge, an old Englishman turned down by the R.A.F. because of his age. The last member was "The Turtle," A Polish mute whose tongue was cut out by Germans and who communicated by tapping on his own head in Morse Code. The group flew special planes that split in half to become separate vehicles. In fact, Skywolf and his team were such an effective group of Nazi fighters that Adolf Hitler himself was desperate to get rid of them to the point of actually participating in a plan to capture them.

Originally, Skywolf and his team wore skintight suits. Starting with Volume 2 of Air Fights Comics, they switched to the more aviator-style purple uniforms. Skywolf teamed up with Airboy and battled the monstrous Heap during the course of his adventures.
