The Claw's alter ego


In early February I was watching the History Channel's Pawn Stars program when I jolted up from my couch with recognition. A seller was presenting a World War II bomber jacket with the emblem of the Army Air Corps' 97th Flying Training Squadron, which they called the Devil Cat. It was really the Claw.

I went to the Internet and found the Devil Cat insignia, and you can see it above.

The Devil Cat may live, but "The Claw Dies!" is from Lev Gleason's Daredevil #16, from 1942. The Grand Comics Database credits Bob Wood with the artwork.
