Wings Comics #39

Sergeant Adolph Brzozowy recounts a harrowing true account to his fellow fliers—the story of a B-24 tail gunner who refused to abandon his post even as enemy fighters closed in for the kill, choosing duty over survival. It's a quietly powerful tribute to an airman whose name no one will ever know, told with the matter-of-fact respect of those who've seen what courage looks like at 25,000 feet.

A young American fighter pilot, dismissed as a hayseed by his commanding officer, gets his chance to prove himself when his squadron scrambles to aid an Australian patrol under attack by Japanese forces in the Southwest Pacific. After a harrowing dogfight costs him his wingman, Jim Chase is forced to ditch his Wildcat in the jungle, where he forms an unlikely alliance with a native headhunter—and together they uncover the location of a hidden Japanese airfield. Now selected to lead a raid on the enemy base, Jim must balance his burning need for vengeance with the code of honor that binds him to his new friend.
