Somewhere between the Challengers Of The Unknown and the Blackhawks existed the Ghost Patrol.



So, who were these guys?

Originally written by Ted Udall and Emmanuel Demby with art by Frank Harry, (good luck figuring that out from the page credit below), the Ghost Patrol debuted with their origin in 1942 in the pages of Flash Comics...


Things sure worked out better for them than for these guys...


Like the Blackhawks, the Ghost Patrol continued well past the end of World War II - until 1949 - appearing in most issues of Flash Comics between #s 29-104. And, like those other guys, they sometimes had trouble finding direction without the war that spawned them. Things evolved and changed, with John Wentworth now scripting...


...things always change...

(Thanks, kiff57krocker)

...except   War. War Never Changes.

There was a Ghost Patrol that appeared in Our Army At War in 1963, but that was some other guys. They were Infantry. 
Fred, Slim and Pedro seem to have moved on from this realm.
