The Flying Fox was Rex Darrell, pilot, “air adventurer and sky sleuth,” who wore a World War I-style flying headgear, which vaguely resembles a fox, and is probably the reason for his nickname. He debuted in More Fun 47 (Nov 38). His plane, one of the fastest ever built, is the Dawn Streak, and with his co-pilot Buzz Blair, Rex catches a large amount of air pirates, and assorted killers and spies as well.
