☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeWings Comics #24 is an anthology issue featuring multiple aviation-themed stories. The main story, "Captain Wings and the Hell-Diver Squadron: Messengers of Doom," depicts Captain Wings and his squadron attacking a secret Japanese military base. A secondary feature, "The Death of a Hero," chronicles the true-life story of "Scarsdale Jack" Newkirk, a pilot who led a flight for freedom in Burma skies. The issue also includes "The Flying Tiger," a roaring air war yarn by Captain Derek West, along with additional stories involving military operations and combat situations presented across the anthology format.
"Scarsdale Jack" Newkirk was a Navy pilot who joined the legendary Flying Tigers in China, quickly becoming an ace and squadron leader through fearless dogfighting against Japanese bombers—earning the British Distinguished Service Order in less than a year. But his daring tactics and willingness to dive at enemy anti-aircraft positions came at a cost, as this wartime profile shows how one man's ruthless courage shaped the American air war in the Orient.
