Synopsis for "Phantom of the Killer Skies"
Taking him to see Joel, Johnny learns that Joel is a World War I buff who restores old planes and is working on a book about fighter pilots. Just as Joel begins talking about inconsistencies with his grandfather's story, the Phantom Eagle returns and attacks. When Johnny changes into the Ghost Rider once more, he tries to stop the Phantom Eagle from killing von Reitberger. The Eagle then tells Blaze the true story: that while trying to smuggle his parents out of Germany, the Eagle was cowardly killed by von Reitberger who happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Believing that it's still not the Eagle's place to murder von Reitberger, he tries to stop him; however, the Eagle has become immaterial and the Ghost Rider begins to fall to his imminent death. Becoming solid again to save the Ghost Rider, the Phantom Eagle becomes a target of von Reitberger who has taken flight in one of his grandson's planes. During the dogfight, von Reitberger ends up crashing his plane into the hangar, giving the Eagle the revenge that he so craved. After landing Johnny safely to the ground, the Eagle takes flight once more to meet his eternal rest.Appearing in "The Final Curtain"
