Our Army at War #77

From the cockpit of a USAAF jet streaking through a fiery, flak-filled sky, a determined pilot in a yellow helmet and oxygen mask refuses his wingman's desperate cry of "Pull out — pull out!", snapping back "Not while I'm on target!" — it's an arresting snapshot of airborne resolve that pulls you straight into the action. Jerry Grandenetti's cover crackles with tension, the shattered canopy glass and bursting anti-aircraft fire driving home just how much is at stake at thirty thousand feet. Robert Kanigher and Irv Novick deliver the interior thrills of "Jets Don't Dream!" in this December 1958 installment of DC's premier war anthology.
