Ma Hunkel first appeared as a character in the Scribbly feature of All-American Comics #3 (cover-dated June 1939):

But it was in All-American Comics #20 (November 1940 issue) that her identity of the Red Tornado was born!

The Red Tornado was even present (briefly) for the first meeting of the Justice Society of America in All-Star Comics #3.

It appears that the final Golden Age appearance of the Red Tornado was in All-American Comics #59 (July 1944), which according to the GDC went on sale May 6th, 1944.

Later that same month, Ma showed up in a Scribbly story published in Comic Cavalcade #7 (Summer 1944), but did not appear as the Red Tornado in that story.

-------------------------
Nearly a quarter of a century later, in Justice League of America #64 (August 1968 issue), readers were treated to "The Stormy Return of the Red Tornado!"

And even though that character may not have been the original Golden Age Red Tornado, a drawing of the entire Justice Society of America membership featured in Justice League of America #76 (November-December 1969) did include both Red Tornados.
