Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines

Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines is an American animated television series made by Hanna-Barbera which aired on CBS from September 13, 1969 - January 3, 1970. It is a spin-off of Wacky Races.

Dick Dastardly and Muttley, who were former Wacky Racers that were infamously known for attempting to hijack races, are now flying aces in World War I-styled aeroplanes and members of the Vulture Squadron, on a mission to stop a messenger pigeon named Yankee Doodle Pigeon from delivering top-secret messages to an opposing army. The other members of the Squadron are Klunk, an inventor who speaks an unintelligible language (punctuated by howls, clicks, whistles, and growls, accompanied by bizarre facial contortions), and Zilly, a very timid pilot whose main role is to translate for Klunk.
