The worst of Airboy’s enemies was not Hitler, Mussolini Tojo or any of the various Axis based murderous psychopaths or freaks that Airboy and his allies often encountered but rather a being who could rightly be called a demon.

Although Airboy primarily fought foreign spies and pilots (and after the war, even common crooks and bankrobbers), his creepiest adversary was Misery.
Over time the new Airboy dealt with matters both political and mystical, from the overthrow of a banana republic propped up by his father’s weapons, to the desperate flight to stop another WW II-era atomic bomb headed for Russia, shanghaied for decades by Misery.
