Military Comics #9

In "The Man in the Iron Mask," the Blackhawks return to the site of their fallen comrade Andre’s presumed death, only to find a prisoner known as Iron Face—later revealed to be Andre, his face ravaged by war. When they rescue the brilliant but unhinged Dr. Fritz von Rath from a Nazi camp, the mission takes a darker turn as secrets from the past begin to surface.

In "The Berlin Express," Jo, a resourceful and determined agent, rallies women across Europe to join her secret mission, turning the tide of war one daring act at a time. Though Gray insists on being part of the effort, the women—unwilling to risk their operation—vote him out, leaving him behind as Jo and her allies push deeper into enemy territory.

Captain William "Wild Bill" Dunn and Private Boomerang Jones pilot the Blue Tracer, a revolutionary flying machine, to aid Chinese forces against Japanese occupation at Koko Nor—where the brutal General Muki Zu, nicknamed the Yellow Butcher, has turned the city into a stronghold of terror. Working with Chinese allies, the two pilots devise a daring plan to retake the city and confront the ruthless general himself.

When a Quartermaster's inattention allows spies to infiltrate the ranks, the Inferior Man stumbles onto a peculiar enemy plot—one involving cherry blossom perfume and homesick saboteurs. Armed with an unexpected solution, he devises a plan to turn the invaders' own nostalgia against them, setting the stage for a decidedly unconventional operation on American soil.

Major Bill, recently promoted to the Chinese Air Force, reconnects with his old friend Nat in New York to share an extraordinary wartime account: the perilous journey of American-made bombers across enemy territory to reach the Chinese front. From dodging Japanese destroyers at sea to navigating the treacherous Burma Road and surviving intense aerial combat over Shanghai and enemy naval bases, Bill recounts the harrowing mission that saw his squadron decimated by Japanese fighters and anti-aircraft fire. With his navigator Lung, Bill battles his way through impossible odds to complete their dangerous assignment and escape back to friendly territory.
