Don Winslow of the Navy #14

This April 1944 Fawcett issue drops readers right into the thick of wartime action, with Don Winslow clinging to a rope ladder suspended from what appears to be a low-flying aircraft while a speeding torpedo boat churns through the waves below — explosions erupting in the background. The cover boldly promises that Winslow will be catapulting against the Axis alongside the Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard, painting a vivid picture of all-branches wartime cooperation. For ten cents, issue #14 delivers the kind of high-stakes naval adventure that made this series a reliable thrill during the war years.
