You'd think if an aircraft pilot is called "Iron Ace", it would be meant metaphorically!
Not in this guy's case!
And the villain of this tale is called "The Leper"!

Illustrated by Bill Fraccio, this never-reprinted (and extremely-racist) tale from Hillman's Air Fighters Comics #12 (1943) features the only appearance of that publisher's "Leper" character.
Trivia: the CrimeBuster strip in Lev Gleason's Boy Comics had featured a different Axis character (a German) the year before, also called "The Leper"!
However, he wasn't diseased and his name was merely symbolic.

Both were one-shot baddies.
