DC Comics: Blackhawk #268 (1984)
 
Blackhawk finds himself assigned, by British Intelligence, to escort war correspondent Virginia Mueller to Geneva. He tries to be charming but she's mean to him. She also is very bad at maintaining wartime security, and creates a situation where the Luftwaffe are able to locate and destroy the Intelligence Command.
 
Blackhawk flies her to Geneva in his own plane, and endures her insipid isolationist harangue for what seems like hours, but along the way they encounter more Luftwaffe aircraft, and there's a dogfight, in which Blackhawk's fuel line gets punctured. He lands, and another plane comes back to attack them. Blackhawk uses some of Miss Mueller's luggage and clothing to make dummies, luring the very dumb pilot to land and check out the "bodies" on foot. Blackhawk jumps him, takes his luger, warns him in German not to keep fighting, then when he doesn't stop, Blackhawk shoots him. Miss Mueller is appalled at the irrationality of the German pilot's behavior. She changes her mind about a lot of things right then.
 
Blackhawk is the eponymous fictional character of the long-running comic book series Blackhawk first published by Quality Comics and later by DC Comics. Primarily created by Chuck Cuidera with input from both Bob Powell and Will Eisner, the Blackhawk characters first appeared in Military Comics #1 (August 1941).
 
Led by a mysterious man known as Blackhawk, the Blackhawks (or more formally, the Blackhawk Squadron) are a small team of World War II-era ace pilots of varied nationalities, each typically known under a single name, either their given name or their surname. Though the membership roster has undergone changes over the years, the team has been portrayed most consistently as having seven core members.
 
In their most well-known incarnation, the Blackhawks operate from a hidden base known only as Blackhawk Island, fly Grumman XF5F Skyrocket fighter aircraft, and shout their battle cry of "Hawk-a-a-a!" as they descend from the skies to fight tyranny and oppression. Clad in matching blue and black uniforms (with Blackhawk himself boasting a hawk insignia on his chest), early stories pitted the team against the Axis powers, but they would also come to battle recurring foes such as King Condor and Killer Shark, as well as encounter an array of gorgeous and deadly femme fatales. They also frequently squared off against fantastical war machines ranging from amphibious "shark planes" and flying tanks, to the aptly named War Wheel, a gigantic rolling behemoth adorned with spikes and machine guns.
 
At the height of his popularity in the early 1940s, Blackhawk titles routinely outsold every other comic book but Superman. Blackhawk also shares the distinction of being just one of five comic book characters to be published continuously in their own titles from the 1940s up to the 1960s (the others being Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and The Phantom).
 
The comic book series has spawned a film serial, a radio series, a novel, and has been announced as a forthcoming Steven Spielberg feature film. A grounded version of Blackhawk named Ted Gaynor appeared on television in the first season of the Arrowverse series Arrow, played by Ben Browder.
