Fighter Post #10
A rare 1945 military publication from the U.S. Army Air Forces’ VII Fighter Command, Fighter Post #10 features a quietly tense moment among three soldiers on Iwo Jima. Written and illustrated by Dave Berg, the story captures a pivotal, ambiguous scene where two men prepare to leave the island after earning their discharge points—while the third, left behind, casually holds his wrench behind his back as the plane takes off, leaving the outcome of his actions uncertain. The cover by Dave Berg completes this stark, character-driven snapshot of duty and quiet defiance.

Three soldiers work to repair an airplace, but only two get the 5 points from the work that allow them to leave Iwo Jima and be discharged. The third soldier waves goodbye to the other two in that plane as they leave, holding his wrench behind is back, implying he undid some of those repairs.
