Fightin' Air Force #20

A battered U.S. jet fighter takes a direct hit mid-flight — flames and debris erupting from its fuselage — while a second aircraft streaks through the background sky and a pilot ejects below, all rendered with visceral energy by cover artist Sam Glanzman. The story teased at the bottom, "The Verdict," sets a tense, high-stakes tone that pairs perfectly with the cover's chaos. This March 1960 Charlton title delivers the kind of raw aerial drama that made Fightin' Air Force a go-to for military comics fans of the era — and there's even a TWA/Disneyland contest inside for good measure.
