Wings Comics #79 is an anthology featuring multiple aviation-themed stories. "Captain Wings' Buzzards of Thunder Sky" follows a pilot attempting to catch up with a fellow flier named Sparky who has taken a new job, only to encounter complications involving a motorcycle and an airport rendezvous. Another featured story, "Suicide Smith," involves a crash-landed pilot and military personnel dealing with a downed aircraft and questions of blame for the bombing, with tensions between a Latina woman and American soldiers over who will pilot the damaged plane out of the cursed land.
