Golden Age Moment(s) of the Day (38)

That's right, I decided to put up two panels.

Both are in sequence from Military Comics #1, original home of the Blackhawks comics, but this is from the Blue Tracer feature, which is considerably less famous and apparently not picked up by DC.

In the first panel, we have a guy misrepresenting the primary purpose of tanks, though the smashing into things is fun and useful. (Also, planes can dive just as well as submarines, just not in water-that linguistic usage is misleading.)

In the second, we see that this supposedly normal American engineer, who recently suffered a head injury and heat stroke, now feels the need to dress rather eccentrically.

In true Golden Age style, nobody every mentions that outfit again, by the way...

-Signing off.
