U.S. Air Force Comics #24

A Soviet-marked jet looms large at the center of this tense 1962 Charlton cover, with an entire squadron of aircraft filling the skies around it — the story title teaser "Let the Enemy Pass!" hinting at high-stakes aerial strategy. Two inset panels below dramatize the action further, showing a sleek delta-wing fighter maneuvering sharply and an enemy plane erupting in flame and smoke. Dick Giordano's crisp cover art captures the Cold War tension of jet-age aerial combat with real kinetic energy, making this an appealing find for fans of military comics from the era.
