The Iron Ace was RAF Captain Ronald Britain. Dr. La Farge, a member of the French resistance and part of a line of Iron Aces dating back to Charlemagne, was killed by Nazis but passed his armour along to Captain Britain just before dying. The Iron Ace flew in a plane covered in "Fabrikoic Micro Iron" which made his plane almost indestructible. I love the strangeness of this idea. I also love the image of a fully suited Knight driving a plane and fighting Nazi's, like something Mike Mignola would dream up.
Iron Ace was drawn by Fred Kida but thew writer is unknown.

I wasn't aware of this character, but clearly he is awesome. Fabrikoic Micro Iron indeed.
But this drawing is totally weak.
Just kidding! Just kidding! I like it. Once again, I'm digging the high contrast spot blacks. And if you squint his head kind of looks like the top of the capitol building! (But only when you squint)
LOL! Way to make me feel totally crushed for a nanosecond! This is the strangest character I came across, but one of the most charming too. And Jed, I'm dying to see more of your work on your blog (hint, hint)
