Valiants were originally assigned to the strategic nuclear bombing role, carrying either British-built weapons such as Blue Danube, Yellow Sun, and Red Beard, or US-supplied weapons under a "dual key" arrangement.

 [No title]
Valiant Yachts is proud to have the Valiant 40 selected as a member of the American Sailboat Hall of Fame.
The outsized appeal of the Valiant 40 once earned it the label of "cult boat" in some circles, but that did a disservice to the fact that much of the boat's popularity derives from its remarkable achievements under sail.
Of all the bragging rights that go with Valiant 40 ownership, one of the most impressive, according to Worstell, is that no Valiant 40 has suffered a disabling failure.

After a bidding war that involved numerous parties, Valiant Entertainment Inc. was recognized as the new owners of the Valiant characters and has expressed an interest in bringing the characters back to their popular pre-Acclaim state.

 Prince Valiant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Valiant himself is a Nordic prince (from the faraway Thule - apparently located somewhere near the city Trondheim on the Norwegian west coast).
Early in the story, Valiant comes to Camelot, becomes fast friends with Sir Gawain and Sir Tristram, earns the respect of King Arthur and Merlin, and becomes a Knight of the Round Table.
Some slightly fantastic elements, like "marsh monsters" (a dinosaur-like creature) and witches, are present in the early years but are later downplayed (as are Merlin's and Morgan le Fay's use of magic), so that by 1942 the story is in most aspects a realistic one.
