He earned the nickname "Captain Midnight" because of a heroic deed that took place at midnight. As the series evolved, Captain Midnight became a master aviator and the leader of a secret squadron that fought villains and saboteurs during the period before the United States entered World War II. After the U.S. entered the war, the show's stories shifted to reflect the ongoing global conflict, with Captain Midnight and his Secret Squadron taking on the Axis powers.Key characters included:
