Military Comics #33

The Blackhawks crash-land in China and discover a hidden Confederate garrison, still flying the Stars and Bars nearly eighty years after the Civil War's end—led by the century-old Capt. Powhatan Bushrod, last survivor of a colony of ex-Confederate soldiers who've been holding out against Japanese invasion. When the Blackhawks recognize that the enemy is tunneling beneath the fort to plant explosives, they must work with Bushrod's determined but outgunned defenders to turn the tide of battle.

When the Death Patrol encounters a geometry problem—a V-shaped gully too steep to escape from after an aerial bombing run—one member claims to have invented a solution, only to have it photographed by a Japanese spy. Now the enemy stronghold is ready with a lasso trap when the Death Patrol arrives in their new helicopter to attack, turning a clever invention into an unexpectedly perilous situation. It's a wartime yarn where ingenuity meets improvisation, and not everything goes according to plan—but results speak for themselves.

Private Dogtag's exhausting day of military drills takes a magical turn when he encounters the G.I. Fairy Godmother, who offers to grant his every wish—but as he rapidly climbs from buck private to top sergeant to captain and beyond, he discovers that each promotion comes with new headaches and unforeseen consequences. When his wishes finally spiral into chaos, desperation, and a dangerous commando mission, Dogtag learns a hard lesson about what you ask for in the Army.

Under cover of darkness, a squadron of U.S. Navy planes launches a bold nighttime raid from Guadalcanal—but with an unconventional weapon. When high explosives aren't worth the cost, the Black Cat Squadron trades bombs for empty bottles that whistle through the air like wailing cats, turning enemy rest camps into sleepless nightmares and proving that sometimes the most effective warfare is the most ingenious.
