Best Answer

Smilin" Jack ( Smiling Jack) was a comic strip about an air pilot. he went through a variety of roles and different types of aircraft, civil and military. He served in Vietnam which may have alienated some comics fans (most TV service comedies utterly avoided even a mention of Southeast Asia war.) In some quarters I have heard it argued the title character was, in some incarnations, an amateur football player- maybe a confusion of early style flight and football helmets. Not sure.
