Enemy Ace was one of DC's numerous war comics back in the day, from when certain restrictions to the superhero genre in the mid-1960s lead to the creation of Sgt. Rock, the Losers, Johnny Cloud (Navajo Flying Ace) and others. However, unlike many of his contemporaries, Hans von Hammer's original series was based during the First World War, inspired by such historical figures as the Red Baron, and fitting the morally ambiguous nature of the conflict, he was depicted as a noble, if not good, man who ended up fighting in a war that didn't necessarily have a "right" side.
Skip forward a few decades, and Garth Ennis decided to revive the character and place an older Hans in the 1940s to see how the far less grey nature of the Second World War would effect the character... And this was what we got.
