Our Army at War #178
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Only 1 Medal for Easy!", a weary combat pilot, haunted by the loss of his ship and crew, struggles with the quiet burden of survival and the stigma of being deemed unfit for frontline duty. Assigned to reconnaissance missions he sees as beneath him, he finds a fleeting chance to prove himself when a dangerous opportunity arises—pushing him to confront his past and the weight of his choices. Written by Hank Chapman and illustrated by Jack Abel with inks by Abel, the story unfolds with quiet intensity, while Joe Kubert’s striking cover captures the tension of a man on the edge of redemption.
Rock is handed a battle star medal to award to the most deserving member of Easy Company—simple enough, except when everyone insists it should go to Rock himself, turning a routine task into an unexpectedly awkward mission.
In "My Cockpit Is a Cradle," a war-weary combat pilot returns to base alone after losing his plane and crew, relegated to reconnaissance missions he sees as a demotion. When a chance to prove himself arises during one such flight, he seizes it with quiet determination.
