In "Lieut. John James Powers," a wartime pilot faces a high-stakes deception when a missing set of plane blueprints leads to a dangerous ruse—Griffin fabricates a new design to cover his mistake, unaware that the Nazis have intercepted the fake plans and are now building a plane based on his invention. Written by Kip Beales and illustrated by Al Walker, this 1943 adventure blends wartime intrigue with a clever twist, all rendered with crisp, period-accurate art. The cover by Gene Fawcette captures the tension with a striking, dynamic image of the hero in action.

Lt. John James Powers

During the tense third day of the Coral Sea battle, Lt. John James Powers leads his dive bomber group in a daring attack on an enemy carrier, pushing his aircraft into an even sharper dive than his section mates to reach his target. With Japanese anti-aircraft fire bursting around him, Powers descends to just five hundred feet before releasing his bomb, determined to deliver a direct hit on the flight deck below. This gripping wartime account captures the courage and sacrifice of one of America's aerial aces.

In a wartime twist of irony, Greasemonkey Griffin finds himself caught between duty and deception when he fakes a set of plane blueprints to cover for a lost design—only to see the Nazis steal the counterfeit plans and build a plane of their own.

Lt. Chuck MasonRed BarnesNazis

Lt. Chuck Mason and Red Barnes devise a daring scheme to locate a Nazi fighter base—by disguising a captured bomber as a German aircraft and infiltrating enemy airspace under cover of darkness. After finding the hidden airfield and destroying a dozen Focke Wulfs on the ground, the two airmen must improvise their escape using the very enemy fighters left standing. It's a wild midnight raid that tests not just their flying skills, but their ability to think on their feet when everything goes sideways.
