Dick Dastardly and Muttley (the villains from the "Wacky Races" cartoon) are flying aces and members of the Vulture Squadron -- a crew of aviators on a mission to stop a homing pigeon named Yankee Doodle Pigeon from delivering messages to the other side. This show was a combination of the Red Baron-era Snoopy, "Wacky Races" and the film "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines."
