Wings Comics #38

Captain Wings crash-lands in the New Guinea jungle after a dogfight with Japanese Zeros and discovers a downed transport carrying three USO entertainers—Martha, Katie, and Bess—stranded far from their destination. When the group encounters hostile territory controlled by Japanese forces and native tribes, Wings must use his wits, combat skills, and a little ventriloquism to keep the singers alive and find a way out. A wartime rescue mission where quick thinking and guts matter just as much as a fast trigger finger.

**"Capt. Joe Foss, USMC"** tells the true story of a South Dakota farm boy whose sharp eye and nerve in the cockpit of a Grumman Wildcat make him one of America's deadliest pilots during the brutal air war over Guadalcanal. As his kill count climbs and he earns command of his own fighter squadron, Foss faces relentless enemy fire and the weight of leadership—all while drawing strength from the home and family he left behind. This is the real wartime record of a Marine ace whose marksmanship and grit helped turn the tide in the Pacific.

Lieutenant Ed Lawson and his radioman Henry are flying torpedo bombers toward an enemy carrier when they're intercepted by Japanese Zeros—and after delivering their payload, they're forced to ditch on an island where they encounter Ann Newell, an American missionary's daughter attempting to free her father from a Japanese prison camp. Using ingenuity and improvised signaling equipment, the stranded airmen and escapees must coordinate with their fleet to survive until rescue arrives.
