Our Army at War #6

From the chaos of an amphibious assault, this January 1953 DC war anthology puts the spotlight on the unsung heroes of the battlefield. Irv Novick's cover captures an intense beach-landing scene: in the foreground, a medic wearing a Red Cross armband tends to a wounded soldier inside a landing craft marked "3IN," while a gunner mans a mounted machine gun nearby — all as the vessel "DA-72" pushes through shell-churned waters behind them. The cover's promise of "soldiers without guns fighting the greatest enemy of all — Death!" sets a gripping, human tone for the "Battle Flag!" story within.
