"The Blonde Bomber' - SPEED COMICS, 1946

R

"The Blonde Bomber" refers to Carole Landis, just as "The Oomph Girl" refers to Ann Sheridan. "Umbriago", another character in this story, takes his name from a song that was sung by Jimmy Durante.

The Blonde Bomber Of Harvey Comics

R

There was also a "Blonde Bomber" in the Green Hornet comic book published by Harvey comics in 1942, which wasn't too long after the Carole Landis article that called her the "Blonde Bomber" was published. This Blonde Bomber's adventures were drawn by Barbara Hall, who was one of the few women artists to be drawing comic books stories as the time.

 Honey Blake is a newsreel photographer with a chubby sidekick like D.C. comics' "Johnny Quick",

but otherwise more closely resembles old serial heroines such as Pearl White as she leaps into action without benefit of super-powers. She might also be compared to Pat Savage of the Doc Savage adventures.

Doc Savage And The Blonde Bomber

R

At the close of the Doc Savage adventure CARGO UNKNOWN, Doc called a girl a "Blonde Bomber".

 That was a term that had been applied to Carole Landis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carole Landis was also called "The Ping Girl", a name she said she disliked. She became one of the most popular pin-up girls of World War II and is also remembered for her part in entertaining the troops overseas during wartime.

 

In World War II several bombers were christened "The Blonde Bomber" by their crews. 

 

 

 

 

This Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress  was named "The Blonde Bomber" after the pilot's wife, Mary Francis Phillip.

                                 The similar term "Blonde Bombshell" dates back to Jean Harlow,

 

 

 

and was used for Bill Ward's comic book character "Torchy".

"Blonde Bombshell" is the better known term today.
