Fightin' Air Force #42

Charlton's Fightin' Air Force #42 puts you right in the thick of aerial combat, with a twin-engine bomber banking hard overhead while enemy fire erupts in dramatic orange and yellow bursts below — a red-starred gun emplacement taking the fight directly to our boys. Dick Giordano's cover work captures the tension with sharp, kinetic detail, from the streaking enemy aircraft in the background to the smoke-filled chaos at ground level. Inside, Joe Gill and Charles Nicholas (inked by Vince Alascia) bring you "No Medals, No Headlines" — a title that promises the kind of unsung, boots-on-the-ground (or wings-in-the-sky) drama that made Charlton's war books such a satisfying read in 1964.
