☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeWings Comics #48 is an anthology featuring multiple aviation-themed stories, including tales centered on the Skull Squad, Greasemonkey, and Griffin. The visible pages showcase action sequences involving World War II aerial combat, with a Spitfire pilot engaging enemy aircraft and bombers over the English Channel, as well as ground-based military operations involving Nazi forces and secret weapons. The issue contains a narrative about an American intelligence officer uncovering sabotage and espionage activities in Western England, culminating in the discovery of a German spy operating from a shipwrecked vessel.
This 1944 non-fiction feature explores the emerging science of jet propulsion, tracing its theoretical roots back to Newton and following the development of practical jet-powered aircraft—from the Italian Caproni-Campini experiments of the 1930s to the Allied innovations now entering production for a new generation of super-fighters. Through historical examples, technical diagrams, and profiles of pioneering engineers like Group Captain Frank Whittle, the story reveals how what once seemed like Jules Verne fantasy is rapidly becoming aerial reality.
