"Men Who Never Came Back" is a gripping wartime tale from Military Comics #15, a 1943 issue that finds the Blackhawks racing to Calcutta amid rising tensions fueled by Japanese influence. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated with tense precision by Reed Crandall—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the cover and interior—the story follows the team as they take up a desperate plea from an American consul, only to see him fall before their eyes. Now committed to locating the elusive Scottish Lost Battalion, the Blackhawks plunge into a mission where every step could be their last.

A P.T. boat commanded by Lieutenant Dave Owens is tasked with a daring midnight rescue: slip into the Japanese-held port of Mulami, pick up an American espionage agent, and get out alive. When discovery forces a desperate run through enemy waters, Owens and his crew must fight their way past a Japanese task force blocking the harbor mouth—armed with nothing but speed, nerve, and their torpedo tubes. Badly damaged but undefeated, the tiny torpedo boat races against time and a flooding hull to bring both the agent and her exhausted crew home.

Civil Air Patrol
1 pp · War

Members of the Civil Air Patrol spot a U-boat surfacing off the coast and spring into action, radioing its position back to base while keeping the enemy vessel in sight. When a bomber arrives to finish the job, the patrol plane's pilot faces a desperate race against his dwindling fuel supply to make it back to safety. These lightly-armed fliers prove themselves unsung heroes in the fight against enemy submarines prowling American waters.
