Major Malcom Wheeler – Nicholson, military expert, forecast the use of circus “bat-wings” for parachute troops, in 1942. Now, as a preliminary test, the California State Guard has organized just such a unit of “bat-man” paratroopers, under the leadership of Mickey Morgan, famed jumper. Bat-wings, it is claimed, makes paratroops more maneuverable-and swifter.
Nicholson was an original creator of what became DC Comics.
