Pomeroy joins the 37th "Blue Blazes" Aero Squadron at the grassy field known as "Bar Sur Seine," where he’s met with silence and suspicion from his more seasoned comrades. As he struggles to earn their trust, a sudden aerial assault by a fleet of Fokkers forces him into action—his decisive response turning the tide and earning him his place among the squadron. Wally Wood’s dynamic art, with its sharp lines and vivid detail, brings the tension and drama of wartime skies to life, while Marie Severin’s colors and Jim Wroten’s lettering add depth to the story’s gritty realism. The cover by George Evans captures the intensity of the moment with a striking, action-packed image.

Having just joined the 37th "Blue Blazes" Aero Squadron, Lt. Pomeroy is standing on the grassy field called "Bar Sur Seine", awaiting the return on squadron planes after their encounter with German aircraft. However, squadron members give Pomeroy the cold shoulder and later learns that older squadron members are highly suspicious of "newbies" in their unit. But one day, as he returns to base, he sees a fleet of Fokkers machine gunning the field, so he goes on the attack and successfully downs half the enemy fleet and causing the rest to turn and flee. From that moment on, he is accepted.
