Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Jerry Grandenetti, the story blends tense wartime strategy with personal sacrifice, as Marie’s bold act of deception sets off a chain of desperate moves and hidden risks. The cover, by Irv Novick, captures the drama with a striking image of Marie under siege, while the interior art brings the peril and precision of the mission to life.
In "Human Air Raid," Marie becomes the linchpin of a desperate Resistance plan, using herself as bait in a tree to lure a Nazi tank, while her comrades struggle with dwindling supplies and a million-franc bounty on her head. With Allied bombers unable to strike the gorge and the odds stacked against them, Marie makes a bold choice to surrender—only to escape and reclaim the money meant to buy the weapons they need. Armed with fresh ordnance, her squad launches a daring parachute assault into the gorge, turning the tide in a final, explosive gambit.
In "Flattop Mosquito!", a young Navy pilot proves his worth not through size or firepower, but through nerve and precision when he single-handedly stops a kamikaze attack that threatens to destroy his carrier. Though outmatched by the massive ship and its arsenal, his quick thinking and steady hand turn the tide in a moment that defines courage in the heat of battle.
