Better Russkie-Smashing Through Technology!!!
The Dark Knights utilize real-world technology in their final, never-reprinted, appearance from Quality Comics!
When this tale by writer Robert Bernstein, penciler Dick Dillin and inker Chuck Cuidera appeared in Blackhawk #107 (1956), the deLackner HZ-1 Aerocyle was undergoing tests by the Department of Defense!
Sadly, this rather kool-looking device failed the tests, as detailed HERE.
BTW, a "backpack helicopter" had been posited back in the 1940s, but was deemed not feasable as a weapon.
But that didn't stop sci-fi magazine and comic creatives from utilizing it in their stories!
