Commander Don Winslow is assigned to deliver bomb sights to Brazil during a conference, flying in a seaplane that comes under enemy fire and is forced down. After successfully evading Nazi attacks and completing his mission, Winslow meets with a superior who explains he will work on tactical problems, including PT boat operations in the river. The issue also contains a humorous backup story about two sailors, Joe and a partner, who spend five hours pushing and shoving to get a white elephant aboard ship, only to discover it was a fake—costing them $2,000 in peanuts—resulting in their partnership dissolving over the payout of their losses.

Contains 6 stories
The Battle of the Black Sea!
13 pp · War

Commander Don Winslow and Lieutenant Red Pennington fly vital bomb-sights to the Russian forces at Rostov, but a Nazi spy steals the plane and the precious cargo, forcing the two Americans to bail out behind enemy lines. Stranded in German territory, Don and Red team up with Russian guerrillas to raid a Nazi camp and recover the bomb-sights—but their escape across the Black Sea brings them face-to-face with German naval forces determined to stop them.

Untitled Humor story
2 pp · Humor, Children
Silent Ack-Ack
13 pp · War

Don Winslow and his crewmate Red report to a secret naval assignment that turns dire when their patrol plane carrying a very important passenger comes under fire from a mysterious source over the South American jungle. Forced to crash-land and discovering a hidden Nazi base armed with silent, flash-less anti-aircraft guns responsible for recent Allied plane disappearances, the two must infiltrate the enemy camp, sabotage the weapon, and fight their way back to their crippled aircraft. With Nazi ace Lakner hot on their trail and time running out, Don and Red race to get their VIP safely across enemy territory before the base can regroup.

Tactical Problem #37
12 pp · War

A mysterious dark bulb and a suspicious bulge in a midshipman's uniform set Don Winslow and Red Pennington on the trail of a saboteur posing as a naval cadet—one who will stop at nothing to cripple the Navy from within. Trapped aboard a runaway P.T. boat rigged to explode, the two commanders must outthink an enemy operative who believes he's already won, all while the waters around them become a crossfire of torpedoes and gunfire.

The White Elephant of Boompa
6 pp · Humor

Jetsam Joe sets his sights on fortune when the ship docks at Boompa, determined to capture the legendary white elephant rumored to be worth a fortune. With Pete the Pesky Parrot in tow and a local guide leading the way, Joe ventures into the Sacred Jungle in search of his prize—but the jungle has other plans. This 1943 tale of one sailor's misadventure proves that sometimes the real chaos isn't finding what you're after, it's what happens once you do.

Attack in the Arctic
12 pp · War

Commander Don Winslow and his destroyer crew intercept a mysterious radio transmission originating from the Japanese-held island of Kiska in the Arctic, and Winslow devises a daring plan to silence the enemy weather station before it can guide hostile operations against American shipping. With fog as their ally, Winslow leads a landing party ashore while his ship provides covering fire, but their escape becomes a desperate fight for survival when they encounter a Japanese heavy cruiser blocking their path to open water. Outnumbered but undeterred, Winslow orders a bold ramming maneuver and leads his men in a hand-to-hand assault on the enemy vessel in a clash of seamanship and raw courage.
