Military Comics #33 (1944)

When the Blackhawk team crash-lands behind enemy lines in China, they stumble upon a hidden Confederate outpost—its defenders, descendants of 19th-century Southern soldiers, still holding fast with the old flag of the Confederacy. Though isolated and unprepared for war, they’ve survived years of Japanese occupation through guerrilla tactics and fierce resolve, now facing a new threat from beneath the earth.

In "The V-Gully Problem," Death Patrol's pilot Jo devises a helicopter-like invention to solve the tricky angle of a Japanese stronghold's approach, only to have it stolen by a disguised Japanese spy who uses it to trap the team. With the invention now in enemy hands and the squad caught mid-air, Jo must think fast to turn the tide—before the bomb on the device detonates.

In "If Wishes Were Horses!!!---", Private Dogtag’s wish to escape the rigors of military life backfires when a captured G.I. Fairy Godmother grants him a series of promotions—each one worse than the last. From top sergeant to captain to colonel, his rapid rise leads to a disastrous battle scenario and a court-martial, all before he finally wishes to return to being a buck private at Camp Simon Legree.

In the Pacific Theater during World War II, a group of American and British troops, including a young pilot named Jo, are dropped behind enemy lines in Burma via glider. As they struggle to establish a hidden airfield and fend off Japanese patrols, they rely on ingenuity, teamwork, and the help of local allies to survive and prepare for the next phase of their mission.
