Scarlet Ace (Centaur)

The Scarlet Ace was an aviator contacted by the American government to investigate the kidnapping of several pilots from a Louisiana army base. He discovers that the pilots were taken by the villainous Great One, ruler of the floating continent Eurania. The Great One had hypnotized the captive pilots into becoming his personal air force for world domination. Scarlet Ace manages to free the pilots from the Great One’s clutches. The villain escapes. Scarlet Ace takes to the skies in pursuit. While trying to gun down the Great One, Scarlet Ace’s gun jams, leaving him exposed, but an air pocket sends the villain into the sea, 500 feet below. After assuring that the kidnapped pilots were safe, Scarlet Ace flew off into the sunset, and on to his next adventure. The Scarlet Ace was both a talented pilot and skilled hand-to-hand fighter. He wears conventional flying gear, except colored a deep red, just like his bi-plane.
