Fight Comics #24

Rip Carson and his paratroops are assigned an escort detail for a mysterious special mission in the Pacific—but when their transport is shot down by enemy fighters, the squad finds itself stranded on a hostile island with a senior officer and a crucial dispatch-case. Captured by Japanese forces and forced to reveal classified documents, Carson must think fast to keep the enemy from using what they've seized, as his commanding officer accuses him of betrayal. The real battle is just beginning as Carson faces bayonets, interrogation, and the question of how to turn the tables when everything seems lost.

Captain Hewitt Wheless leads his B-17 Flying Fortress and crew on a bombing run against Japanese transports in the Philippines, but engine trouble forces them to continue the mission alone while enemy Zeros close in for the attack. Outnumbered and taking heavy damage, Wheless must pilot his crippled bomber through a grueling 75-mile fight to bring his crew home to their base. This true account from 1943 captures the skill and determination of one of the war's aerial heroes under fire.

A wounded Marine officer, Lieutenant X, arrives at a South Pacific outpost with an unexpected priority—securing a war bond receipt for his daughter. When Japanese forces suddenly invade the atoll, he finds himself captured and interrogated, but his quick thinking transforms a simple document into a brilliant stalling tactic that buys his men precious time to mount a counteroffensive. It's a taut story of courage and ingenuity where even a piece of paper becomes a weapon in the fight for survival.
