"Fighting Marines" by Frank Tinsley
Fighting Marines Cartoon Strips:
Frank Tinsley, 1945
Frank Tinsley, a well-known prewar pulp magazine illustrator, prepared a wartime comic strip featuring the exploits of Marine aviators.
Marion Carl was the first Marine ace of World War II and scored 18.5 aerial victories. An outstanding post-war test pilot, he set a world speed record flying the Douglas D-558-1. Carl commanded the First Marine Brigade during the Vietnam War and retired as a major general.
Capt. Joseph "Joe" Foss destroyed 26 Japanese aircraft and received the Medal of Honor. He later served two terms in the South Dakota legislature and was elected governor of that state. |
