Valkyrie was a female pilot in the German Luftwaffe, who flew an advanced model of the Messerschmidt. She had taken to the skies to inspire German women to become pilots and to turn the tide of the war in Germany’s favor. On her first mission, she shot down three Allied pilots. She was confronted at a secret air base by the American costumed hero, Blackout (renamed Firebird in Tailspin Comics #1). Valkyrie pulled her gun on the hero, but he was quicker on the draw and shot her down in self-defense. Note the story in Tailspin Comics #1 was reprinted and recolored from Cat-Man Comics #24. Valkyrie should not be confused with the Airboy villain of the same name.
