    Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #55: Torpedoes Away! - Written by Maitland. Art by Peter Ford. Cover by Graeme Miller. They called it the riskiest job in the RAF. To throw a big Beaufort torpedo bomber around the sky like a fighter-plane; to battle through flak and air attack right up to target; to roar in on your torpedo-run a bare 50 feet above the waves and lay your single "tinfish" right in the belly of a German warship...and then to fight your way back out of the flame and fury you've stirred up and bring your bomber and crew safe home. This was the job of a Beaufort pilot...and it took a special breed of hero to do it. Young Bill Overby was a Beaufort pilot, one of the best. He couldn't help becoming an ace. You see, it looked as if Bill didn't care about staying alive. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.
