Atomic Attack #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two war stories. "Blood and Guts" depicts two Allied soldiers during World War II who prevented Germany's use of a deadly new weapon on European cities during the dark days when Germany was attempting to destroy the morale of the world through buzz bomb attacks. "Expedition Meat Chopper" follows Captain Jack Farley and jet pilots in Korea who undertake a dangerous flying mission, with Farley demonstrating an unconventional helicopter maneuver called the "Whirley Bird" to prove its combat capability, while soldiers below engage in ground operations and guard duty during the Korean conflict.
When U.N. intelligence discovers a hidden enemy rocket base on Palau Island armed with atomic weapons capable of devastating Western cities, the desperate race is on to stop a catastrophe. Professor Milburn Clay proposes an audacious solution: send a submarine and demolition team deep beneath the Pacific to plant an H-bomb in an underground fault and trigger a volcanic eruption that will destroy the island. With the fate of the democratic world hanging in the balance, the mission launches into enemy waters in "The Island that Disappeared," a tense Cold War thriller from Atomic Attack #8.
Captain Jack Farley pilots a daring helicopter mission over a Korean mountain pass where jet fighters have suffered devastating losses against a heavily armed enemy supply convoy. When conventional air strikes prove costly, Farley volunteers to use his intimate knowledge of the terrain and his "chopper" to block the pass itself—a risky gambit that will either turn the tide or cost him his life. It takes a helicopter pilot's ingenuity and nerve to prove that sometimes the slower bird can accomplish what speed alone cannot.
Pete Korn arrives at boot camp as a perpetual screw-up, constantly at odds with the hard-nosed Sgt. "Bull" Whip, who seems determined to make his life miserable. When their unit ships to Korea and enters combat, Pete's resentment toward the sergeant reaches a breaking point—until a moment of crisis forces him to discover what kind of soldier he really is.
