Colonel Doe, the Grey Comet, was Army Air Force officer who flew reconnaissance missions. His plane, “The Flying Camera,” did not have guns but instead had extra gas tanks to allow for longer flights. His nickname came from his gray flying togs. He rarely goes by his real name, instead everyone calls him Grey Comet and he once introduced himself as “Colonel Grey Comet”.

The Grey Comet was determined to stop a notorious Nazi ace known as “The Triangle,” who built his reputation by targeting unarmed flyers. When The Triangle’s attacks escalate, the Grey Comet challenges him in the skies, seeking justice for his fallen comrades. Although the story was meant to continue in the next issue, it never did—but the Grey Comet’s later appearances suggest he ultimately defeated his ruthless foe.

He later became a newsreel cameraman and continued to have adventures involving cameras but not flying.
