The only one I can recall now was 'chocolate soldier' or something like that...The noise SMG's made - 'budda budda budda"!!!

I also remember "Enemy Ace" who was based on the Red Baron...

Now that you've jogged my memory, I recall the name but not any storylines...

Then there was the comic (I forget its name) about the guys in the WW2 Stuart tank that was "haunted"/protected by the ghost of Confederate General Jeb Stuart...

I remember that one!

What's really amazing is I also remember reading that very same comic you were talking about Sheephearder, where the WW1 biplane went into the time cloud vortex and fought in three wars..

I took a quick look on eBay, but there were way too many comic books for me to find that one...I didn't know Rock had his own comic; he was always in "Our Army At War" DC Comics when I read them. I think that's what the 'Ghost Ship' story was in too.
I might try to find that 'Ghost Ship' comic - It's somewhat interesting that I would remember it, as flying was never very interesting to me...Must be something Freudian...
I had a bunch of Mattel and Hubley zinc cap guns, I've posted a couple pics of them here somewhere, as well as a couple I got from eBay a few years back for nostalgia...Plus Tinker Toys, Erector Sets, Lincoln Logs, and some kind of snap-together blocks something like Lego kits...
My parents took me to the Worlds Fair in NYC in 1965, saw the Helldrivers, the people wall & multi-camera F1 cars racing, the Small World dolls...
50's was a fun time to grow up...
