Our Army at War #45

A steely-eyed fighter pilot fills the foreground of Jerry Grandenetti's cover, gripping his controls with white-knuckled focus as an enemy plane closes in at two o'clock — its nose cannon blazing in a burst of yellow and red. The radio chatter in the speech bubbles ("Let him scratch — I'm busy!") perfectly captures the cool nerve that defined aerial combat stories of 1956. Inside, Robert Kanigher and Irv Novick deliver "Diary of a Fighting Pilot!" alongside additional battle-action tales that make this a satisfying all-around war comics package.
