| Comic Story | Airboy Meets Valkyrie / Airboy (13 pages) |
| Synopsis | Valkyrie, whose heart is as black as the ace of spades, more than welcomes the chance to take on Airboy and succeeds in capturing him and Birdie. Not satisfied that she is the better pilot, the air maiden wants to battle Airboy, using his own plane against him. Some of the Airmaidens free Airboy and hide him, but they are later captured and all are sentenced to death. But Valkyrie, in love with Airboy, reforms, and she and her Airmaidens turn the tables on the Nazis and save the day. |

| First Line | Is Airboy a coward? |
| Notes | First appearance of Valkyrie and the Airmaidens. Script credits were added by Craig Delich, as suggested by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. Delich also suggested Warren Kuhn, but per Kuhn's 2018 obituary, he was in the Army during this time period (1943-1946) and his known Hillman work was a backup feature in the Airboy Comics and story in Real Clue Comics, both circa 1949 per Bails. Circa 1949 corresponds with his time in New York attending New York University (1946-1948) and Columbia University (1948-1950). So it is unlikely to be Kuhn here. |
