Colonel Doe, the Grey Comet, was Army Air Force officer who flew reconnaissance missions. His plane, “The Flying Camera,” did not have guns but instead had extra gas tanks to allow for longer flights. His nickname came from his gray flying togs. He rarely goes by his real name, instead everyone calls him Grey Comet and he once introduced himself as “Colonel Grey Comet”. He later became a newsreel cameraman and continued to have adventures involving cameras but not flying.
