Our Army at War #5

This December 1952 issue of Our Army at War delivers its promise of "Explosive Battle Action" right on the cover, where a soldier clings to a railroad bridge above a river, shouting "Never mind me, boys — blow the bridge sky-high!" while his comrades clash hand-to-hand with enemy soldiers across the tracks, explosions lighting up the hillside behind them. Irv Novick's cover art captures the desperate, split-second drama of close-quarters combat with real conviction. Inside, Robert Kanigher and Irv Novick bring four wartime tales — including "T.N.T. Bouquet," "Battle Souvenir," "Baby Face," and "Ranger" — making this a genuinely packed ten-cent package of battlefield storytelling.
