| - The JB-1 was the world's first jet plane. It was built by Professor Silverberg in 1939, with the help of mechanic Linc Traynor and their apprentice, young Bobby Tomlin, who would later become internationally famous as Jetboy. Nazi spies heard about the plane and came to New Jersey to steal the invention and kidnap Silverberg. They ended up killing Professor Silverberg, and Bobby Tomlin used the jet plane to gain revenge, strafing the getaway car full of nazis. A perfect replica of the jet plane can be seen inside Jetboy's Tomb, a monument in homage to the fallen hero.

| - The JB-1 was the world's first jet plane. It was built by Professor Silverberg in 1939, with the help of mechanic Linc Traynor and their apprentice, young Bobby Tomlin, who would later become internationally famous as Jetboy. Nazi spies heard about the plane and came to New Jersey to steal the invention and kidnap Silverberg. They ended up killing Professor Silverberg, and Bobby Tomlin used the jet plane to gain revenge, strafing the getaway car full of nazis. After that, Bobby Tomlin moved to Europe to fight in World War II, becoming very famous as the kid with the experimental jet plane, soon nicknamed Jetboy. The red twin-engine jet plane became an icon, as famous as Jetboy himself. In 1946, when Robert Tomlin came back to the US and briefly retired from his life of adventures, he tried to sell the airplane, with no success. When he fought his last battle with Dr. Tod above the skies of New York City in September 15 of 1946, the JB-1 was destroyed, bits and pieces of it raining all over the Hudson Terminal. A perfect replica of the jet plane can be seen inside Jetboy's Tomb, a monument in homage to the fallen hero.
