Topic: Blackhawk War


  
  Blackhawk (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blackhawk is a long-running comic book series published first by Quality Comics and later by National Periodical Publications, the primary company of those that evolved to become DC Comics.
The Blackhawks as a concept were heavily tied to World War II, and as the years passed by it became more and more difficult to suspend disbelief about their continuous adventuring up to present days.
Blackhawk was involved in one of the earliest examples of fictional crossovers, when Kid Eternity summoned him in his second appearance (1942's Hit Comics #26).

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Blackhawk
Blackhawk was the creation of Will Eisner, the prolific genius behind characters as diverse as The Spirit and Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.
But in keeping with the trend at DC, the Blackhawks began to fight monsters, aliens and other sci-fi menaces, to the point where eventually, their world was indistinguishable from that of the superheroes.
Blackhawk and his cronies have appeared only sporadically in the past couple of decades — a mini-series here, a special there … When they do appear, they follow the lead of the 1982 series, and appear in a World War II setting.

 Genealogical Tips for researching Military History at the Wisconsin Historical Society
Determine the war in which your ancestor may have been involved and review general history of that war and specific battles.
You need to know patterns of enlistment, types of military units and organizations, states that were involved, the time period and where your ancestor lived at that specific time.
It is crucial to note that, except for World War I, our holdings consist of records of military personnel in the service of the State (National Guard), and not of those state residents directly called to duty in military units of the Federal Government.
