The main story, "Jane Martin," follows the pilot as she evades Nazi forces after a crash landing, commandeers a Nazi truck, and escapes to Switzerland with wounded passengers. Another featured story, "Subterranean Airdrome," depicts a detailed military air base hidden underground with secret facilities for aircraft maintenance and repair. The issue also includes stories of "The Skull Squad" flying "The Wings of Doom," along with additional tales featuring characters such as "Phantom Falcons," "Clipper Kirk," "Suicide Smith," and "F-4 Spy Hunter." The stories emphasize aerial combat, espionage, and heroic wartime missions.
Kent Douglas and the Skull Squad pilot newly arrived B-17 Flying Fortresses on a bombing raid deep into Nazi-occupied territory, only to discover that their real mission has just begun when they encounter Czech resistance fighters with intelligence about a terrifying German secret weapon. Racing against time, the Skull Squad must stop a flotilla of radio-controlled bombs before they can cross the English Channel and devastate British defenses, leading to an act of sacrifice that changes everything.
Tim Cassidy, an American spy posing as RAF Captain Sheridan, discovers that his new observer is a German agent photographing British defenses—and a desperate aerial struggle ensues that forces him to assume the enemy's identity and infiltrate a Nazi airfield. Trapped between German suspicion and friendly fire from British fighters, Cassidy must rely on his piloting skills and quick thinking to survive a harrowing escape across the Channel with his cover in tatters.
When an American radio operator detects an enemy armada approaching Alaska, a hidden subterranean airfield springs into action—revealing a bold vision of underground military defense in 1941. American fighter craft launch from beneath the barren surface to intercept the invading force in a fierce aerial clash, testing whether this hidden fortress can turn back the tide of invasion. "Subterranean Airdrome" imagines how the U.S. might defend its northern frontier with cutting-edge, concealed air power.
