☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeWings Comics #9 is an anthology featuring multiple aviation-themed stories set during World War II. Notable stories include "Fools for Glory," a parachute patrol tale; "Jane Martin," featuring a female pilot character; "F4—Spy Hunter"; "Phantom Falcons," in which the squadron prepares to escort bombers over the Channel during the anticipated Nazi invasion of Britain; "'Suicide' Smith" in "Blitzkrieg Buster"; and "The Divers of Doom." The issue also contains "Flying Colors" by Gordon Wayne, a text story about pilots Jimmy Henderson and MacIntosh flying over Albania and encountering a Yugoslav aircraft.
The Skull Squad flies a dangerous mercy mission to drop supplies to a besieged garrison in Albania, but their damaged bomber draws the attention of Stiletto and his Fascist squadron—forcing Kent Douglas, Sandy MacGregor, and Jimmy Jones into a harrowing fight for survival. After crash-landing on enemy territory, the trio must use cunning and quick thinking to turn the tables and complete their vital objective.
Captain Rip Hollister runs an RAF training camp in wartime England when a German fighter squad called the "Vultures" attacks his inexperienced pilots during their first solo flight—prompting him to scramble his own planes to drive them off. When the surviving Vulture returns night after night to bomb the English countryside in revenge, Hollister pursues him relentlessly, even breaking free from a hospital bed to finish the fight once and for all. It's a taut tale of aerial combat and personal vendetta that pits one pilot's determination against an enemy bent on vengeance.
