Sensation Comics DR PAT "Case of the Mechanical Brain"

Our favorite female MD vs...a giant killer robot?
Has Dr Pat "jumped the shark" or is there a rational explanation for this splash page?
OK, not quite the "killer robot on the rampage" tale the splash page implied, and well within the realm of plausibility, this never reprinted tale by scripter Robert Kanigher, penciler Carmine Infantino and inkers Infantino and Frank Giacoia from DC's Sensation Comics #101 (1951) actually fits well within the format of numerous non-costumed crime-fighters published by DC, including Mr District Attorney and GangBusters!

Sensation Comics DR PAT "Dr Pat--Flight Surgeon!"

She cures the sick, catches criminals...
...and defeats Communists!
Is there nothing Dr Pat can't do...while looking really kool doing it?
Though Wonder Woman was the cover-featured heroine of Sensation Comics...
...it's obvious Dr Pat is the real "Wonder Woman' of the book, as this never-reprinted story from #100 (1950) by writer Robert Kanigher, penciler Carmine Infantino, and inker Frank Giacoia proves!
She outsmarts a high-raking Communist officer and shoots down a fighter, while handling her flight surgeon duties!
BTW, the XB-49 "Flying Wing" was a real (albeit experimental) bomber tested during the late 1940s-early 1950s!
It's best-known to the public as the bomber seen in the 1953 movie War of the Worlds delivering an A-Bomb against the Martians!
(Actual flight footage of the ship, not a miniature, was used.)
Who says comics ain't educational?
