Fightin' Air Force #41

Charlton's Fightin' Air Force #41 puts you right in the cockpit alongside a grimly determined pilot, goggles up and jaw set, as enemy fighters swarm and flame erupts dangerously close to his aircraft. Dick Giordano's cover work crackles with urgency — a smoking, burning plane spirals in the background while American and enemy fighters tangle across a stark yellow sky. With Joe Gill writing and Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia on interior art, the featured story "Return to Stalag 9" promises the kind of tense, ground-level wartime drama that made Charlton's war titles a staple of 1963 spinner racks.
