Military Comics #19

In "King Cobra!", the Blackhawks venture into the Black Forest to confront a new and defiant foe: King Cobra, a baron determined to rise above a legacy of failure. Armed with his elite "Squadron of Rattlesnakes" and a snake-headed emblem, he challenges the team in a tense clash of wills and tactics.

The Sniper uncovers Germany's deadliest secret weapon—a flying battleship bristling with firepower—and finds himself captured aboard the massive sky-terror when it bears down on London. Held prisoner by the menacing Captain Hunz, The Sniper must outwit his captors and cripple the aerial behemoth before it levels the city below.

During a broad daylight raid over Germany, Captain Charlie Kegelman's twin-engined bomber takes devastating anti-aircraft fire that cripples one engine and tears through the fuselage, yet he and his crew—Lieutenant Dorton, Sergeant Cunningham, and Sergeant Golay—refuse to abort. Instead, they fight their damaged plane back into the attack, pressing on to destroy flak towers and ground batteries at their objective before limping home on a single engine. Based on actual facts gathered from U.S. Navy information bureaus, this is the true story of one pilot's extraordinary courage under fire.
