The damsels-in-distress was regular
feature of comic books (and movies, a la
King Kong) right up to the 1960's.

When I was growing up "Enemy Ace" was
my favorite. Open cockpits, no parachutes,
a lot of verbage about honor and glory and
dying a noble death. Back when combat was
contest of skill, not speed or firepower.
