U.S. Air Force Comics #32

Three jet pilots—Captain Judd Wagner, Lieutenant Dom Ferrara, and Lieutenant Anton Wejak—earn a reputation as "the Slickers" for their superior flying skills, but a reckless low-level pass over their stateside base gets them reassigned to Korea, where they'll finally test themselves against enemy MiG pilots. When combat comes calling over the Yalu River, the confident trio discovers that confidence alone won't keep them in the air—and that real heroism sometimes means staying grounded where you're needed most.

A young co-pilot serving aboard a B-25 Mitchell on North Atlantic patrol duty finds himself stuck far from the glamorous air war he'd imagined—until a daring ploy by Skipper Barney Hooton gives him and his crew the chance they've been waiting for. When a U-boat surfaces to rescue survivors, the airmen execute a risky maneuver that catches the enemy completely off guard. It's a mission that finally proves the patrol crews are more than just flying bus drivers.

A decorated World War II fighter pilot returns to active duty during the Korean conflict, trading a comfortable staff position to lead experimental F-86 Sabre combat missions—but this time he's pursuing advancement through calculated skill rather than self-sacrifice. As Major Frank Cullman balances his role between Tokyo headquarters and the Korean front, he discovers that staying ahead in peacetime requires a different kind of heroism than the impulsive bravery that made his name. Written with letters by typeset, this 1964 tale explores what it means when a wartime hero must fight for something other than survival.

A Luftwaffe pilot faces an agonizing choice when his crippled American opponent ejects from a burning fighter—his ruthless wingman demands the kill for glory, but honor demands mercy instead. When his fellow pilot refuses the order and opens fire on the helpless American, an unexpected dogfight erupts, and the German captain must make a final decision about what kind of soldier—and man—he wants to be. This is the story of how an enemy combatant became an American citizen and why he chose conscience over victory.
