With the help of British soldiers, they seize the sub and turn it into their own makeshift fortress. The story unfolds through dynamic artwork by Henry Kiefer, with the cover by Gene Fawcette capturing the action in bold, period-accurate style.
Tommy, Curly, and Blimpo—too young to join the front lines—find themselves at the heart of a secret mission when they thwart a pair of Nazi spies landing from a German sub. With the help of British soldiers and their wits, the trio takes control of the submarine, proving that courage isn’t measured in years.
Gene Fawcett pilots a cutting-edge super-bomb designed to ride beneath Allied bombers, guiding the missile directly to its target before bailing out over enemy waters. When an enemy fleet approaches the U.S. coastline, Fawcett and his squadron get their chance to put this revolutionary weapon to the test in combat. Watch as the daring pilots execute their dangerous dive-bombing run and discover whether this aerial innovation can turn the tide of battle.
Tim Cassidy, serving the R.A.F. under the assumed name Captain Sheridan, is a ruthless fighter pilot whose aerial prowess has earned him a brutal reputation—until a crisis of conscience during a bombing run makes him hesitate. When his apparent cowardice draws the scorn of his squadron, Tim travels to London and witnesses the courage of ordinary citizens enduring the Blitz, a revelation that rekindles his purpose and sends him back to the skies with renewed conviction. Reunited with his fliers, Tim leads a fierce dogfight against Nazi bombers and fighters, proving that true strength lies not in cold butchery, but in fighting for something larger than himself.
