It was about some kid with unusual powers and the big bads are attacking Earth with mass-drivers on the moon.

Anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?
Sounds like Invasion America

Correct. The episodes are available on YouTube.

A story involving a man who merged with the snub-fighter he was piloting in a war.

Sounds like The Forever Man.

I don't remember except that the fighter in question was named after a varient on "The Flying Dutchman" legend.

I agree with the Lord of the Abyss, sounds like Gordon Dickson's The Forever Man.

yeah, your probably right, since when I looked at the bigger picture of the snub fighter, in question it did have the french canadian varient for "The Flying Dutchman" on it. This case being a flying canoe crewed by six fur trappers hopelessly lost in the wilderness....

yeah, sounds like the right book.
