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.
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. With Col. Atkins watching closely, Griffin must navigate the chaos of sabotage and secrecy as his improvised schematics become a real threat.
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.
