Combat #6

Dell's War-Stories Combat delivers a vivid piece of early-1960s aerial warfare fiction, and this cover pulls no punches — a U.S. Army Air Forces bomber dominates the fiery red sky while flak bursts erupt all around it and a figure in full flight gear tumbles dramatically in the foreground. The cover tagline sets the stage perfectly: "The air screamed with bullets and bombs as our Flying Fortresses rained destruction into Regensburg, the heart of the Luftwaffe." Sam Glanzman's artwork brings an unmistakable urgency to the scene, with additional bombers visible in the smoke-choked distance, making this a compelling snapshot of WWII aerial combat storytelling at its most visceral.
