Wings Comics #23
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeWings Comics #23 is an anthology featuring multiple aviation-themed stories. The main story, "Battling Eagles of Bataan" by Capt. Derek West, follows two American pilots on dangerous missions in the Philippine theater during World War II, including a raid to recover a crashed P-40 fighter plane, while they also encounter Filipino allies and navigate treacherous combat situations. Additional stories in the issue include "Greasemonkey Griffin," "Suicide Smith," and "Capt. Wings," though the visible pages focus primarily on the Bataan narrative involving combat operations, ground action against Nazi forces, and guerrilla warfare alongside local resistance fighters.
Suicide Smith must pose as a disgraced traitor to help the military locate a secret Japanese base launching surprise raids on American soil—but keeping his cover intact means playing along with enemy operatives and infiltrating their operations. When the masquerade finally pays off and the hidden base is revealed, Suicide finds himself caught between loyalty and survival, with only his piloting skills and quick thinking standing between victory and disaster. This 1942 wartime tale pits America's ace against Admiral Yamamoto himself in a high-stakes gamble where one wrong move could cost everything.
