G.I. Combat #50

From the foxhole up, Jerry Grandenetti's cover for this 1957 DC war title tells the whole story at a glance — a downed pilot in a flight jacket and yellow scarf fires his pistol skyward while fighter planes streak and explode across a battlefield sky above him. The raw, ground-level perspective puts you right in the dirt alongside him, shells bursting on every side. Featuring the story "Foxhole Pilot!", this issue captures the gritty, ground-pounding spirit that made G.I. Combat one of DC's most compelling war anthologies of the era.
