MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1942. Stopped in 1949 after 36 issues.

After the USA had engaged in World War 2 an international band of young men was formed to battle the Axis powers in both the European and Pacific theaters. Because of their juvenility they were portrayed as just unruly army mascots, but they succeeded in completing several dangerous missions in enemy territories nevertheless. After the war the group went on to less perilous adventures.
