In "Battle with Big Pierre," Duke finds himself in a daring new assignment when he requests a transfer to the Foreign Legion's flying squadron, only to be drawn into a high-stakes rescue when the Commandant's daughter becomes stranded in a drifting balloon. Written by Robert Turner and illustrated by George Appel, this 1940 adventure blends aerial peril with wartime intrigue, all rendered in dynamic style. The cover, by Adolphe Barreaux, captures the moment’s tension with bold, expressive lines.
