Fightin' Air Force #33

A tense aerial standoff takes center stage on this July 1962 Charlton issue, with a wide-eyed pilot shouting "You fool! Turn or you'll kill us both!" as jet fighters streak toward each other on a collision course above the clouds. The lower half of the cover promises "Duel Over Berlin!" — showing a U.S. Air Force jet banking sharply while gunfire erupts around it, with the tag line noting that fightin' fighters are coming to the aid of unarmed transports. Cover pencils by Charles Nicholas and inks by Vince Alascia give the action a vivid, kinetic energy that captures the high-stakes Cold War tension Charlton's war titles did so well.
