History:
Hop Harrigan is the son of Colonel A. Harrigan, a renowned mail plane pilot and a pioneer in aviation. The Colonel’s wife left him to return to her native Colombia with their daughter, and the colonel made a flight from which he never returned and was declared dead. Now alone, the young Harrigan inherited his father’s farm and a considerable sum of money. However, a farmer named Silas Crass, who falsely claimed to be Hop’s legal guardian and who mistreated the boy, stole the money and sold the farm, keeping the profits himself.

Hop idolized such famous early pilots as Lindbergh and Corrigan, and taught himself how to fly his father’s antique "Jenny" biplane. One day Crass found the teenager by the plane and was so enraged that he tried to chop up the plane with an axe. Hop struck Crass and flew off in the plane. While flying near an airport, Hop saw that a man’s parachute had caught on the tail of another man’s plane, thereby endangering both men. Hop lowered a knife to the man with the parachute , who turned out to be top aviation mechanic Ikky (later known as "Tank") Tinker. After cutting himself free, Tinker descended on an emergency parachute. Both Tinker and the plane’s pilot, top test pilot Prop Wash, were grateful to Harrigan and highly impressed with his flying ability. When Tinker said about Harrigan’s flight, "Some hop, Harrigan," Wash decided to make "Hop" the teenager’s nickname. Wash got Hop a job at the airport, taught him about flying, and eventually became his legal guardian.

Hop quickly became a superb pilot and soon met Gerry, a millionaire’s daughter who became his girlfriend. Hop, Wash, and Tinker formed the All-American Aviation Company, which built planes for the military and civilian use.

Harrigan had many adventures, most notably during World War Two. At first Hop, Wash, and Tink flew on secret missions after spies, once the latter had gone out of U.S. territory. Later the three joined the U.S. Army Air Corps, and Hop fought Nazis in South America, and warred with the Japanese through much of Asia and the Pacific. All three men returned to civilian life after the war.

Hop Harrigan’s present activities and whereabouts are unknown.
