"Skull Squad," written by Ace Atkins, follows a commando unit as they raid a Nazi airdrome while keeping German forces occupied, with members including Jimmy, Randy, and others tasked with a dangerous cross-channel mission. "Clipper Kirk" appears in the issue alongside other features. A "Tips" section educates readers on Japanese military aircraft, including the Navy Fighter Type 96 and Army Reconnaissance Type 14. The issue concludes with action involving Clipper Kirk and Nazi forces, including a prison scenario and combat sequences set in European locations.
Yankee ferry pilot Jack Winston is branded a pacifist coward when he refuses active service, earning the scorn of his fellow pilots—but when a Nazi submarine attacks a British convoy, he's forced to prove what his conscience is truly made of. Captured and imprisoned, Winston finds a chance for escape alongside fellow pilot Heatherley and seaman Boorman, but his refusal to wage unnecessary violence puts him at odds with his desperate companions. As Nazi fighters close in, Winston must finally decide whether principle or survival matters most.
