Blackhawk's past is a mystery and he has shared only a little of it with even his closest friends and comrades in arms.
It is known that he, his brother, and his sister, all lovers of freedom and humanity, had gone to Poland to volunteer their services. His brother and sister worked in a hospital, caring for the many victims of the Nazi aggression. The young pilot joined the Polish resistance, flying a plane he'd painted jet black and scoring countless successes in night runs against the enemy.
Completing one such run, he watched in helpless rage as the Nazi Colonel Von Tepp, commander of an elite Luftwaffe squadron known as the 'Butchers', bombed the hospital, slaying the young pilot's brother and sister.
Vowing vengeance, the young pilot created the identity of Blackhawk, and launched a one-man terror campaign against history's greatest oppressors. Other pilots, inspired by his example, soon joined him in his mission, forming a volunteer paramilitary unit second to none in the history of combat.
