All-Winners Comics#11(1943)

A wave of strange attacks involving poison gas have struck across the United States, leaving crop lands destroyed in their wake. The United States military calls in the Human Torch and Toro to deal learn what the cause is and stop it. As the two heroes search the country, they are unaware that high above the country is a Nazi airship called Der Tag commanded by a Nazi agent named the Hawk. Although the Torch and Toro fail to find any clues they return to Ford Sanders and the Torch begins thinking about an incident that happened six months ago. He tells of being called by J. Edgar Hoover to investigate the disappearance of sensitive military secrets. Checking a secret government station they caught the Hawk and his men attempting to steal documents. The pair were tricked into going into an asbestos lined, air tight room to die. There they find a woman who tells them that the Hawk and his men were stealing defense plans on balloons and blimps. Using the girls nail file, the Human Torch uses it to cut a hole through the wall and get air and eventually free themselves. After finishing their story, the Torch and Toro recall how the spies escaped in a blimp and begin searching again. The two heroes resume their search and when they find one of the enemy blimps, the pair are knocked out and are left for dead as the spies retreat. Finding the massive airship the pair of heroes report back their findings and then destroy the ship with their flame powers killing the Hawk and his minions.
