From Blackhawk: "King Cobra" by William Woolfolk and Reed Crandall, Military Comics #19 (May 1943)
I didn't know Blackhawk has an opposite number, but it's one of the Laws of Comics that any long-running feature should have one. King Cobra affects a similar dress-style, but in Nazi colors, and has his own aerial squadron. Unfortunately, he dies in his first appearance (a gory image, too) and no one takes over for him. Even his legacy is erased when Chop-Cop paints a dead duck over his plane's snake.
Well... I'm all for Nazi erasure, so long as we NEVER FORGET.
