Ciel de guerre #4

The fourth volume of Ciel de Guerre brings the acclaimed Cockpit collection series to the skies above World War II's Operation Torch, with Pinard and Dauger delivering a striking cover that fills the frame with a tight formation of olive-drab fighter planes — a lone pilot visible in the nearest cockpit, his aircraft's bold white star marking gleaming against the sea below, a warship cutting through the waves in the distance. It's a beautifully composed tribute to Allied air power, capturing both the tension of coordinated flight and the vast theatre of the North African campaign. Aviation and WWII history enthusiasts will find this 2016 Éditions Paquet entry a thoroughly satisfying addition to the series.
