Mosquito pilot Bob Ross had been sent to kill a Nazi general. Already the mission had been cursed with bad luck and, of the three planes that had started out, only his Mossie was left.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #1020: 'Target Ahead!' - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Patrick Wright. Cover by Ian Kennedy. The big four-engined bombers droned their way north over the sea, a few miles out from the Eastern coast of the USA. They kept tight formation, flying fast and low. If anyone had seen them, they would have been mistaken for American planes on a training flight...except that there was no one to see them. And this was deliberate, for they were Junkers 290s of the Luftwaffe -- and their target was New York. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

'Eagles, Arise!' - Written by Ferg Handley. Art and Cover by Keith Page. England, after 1066, was a violent place. As William of Normandy tightened his grip on the English throne, it was a time of war and great unrest. The incoming Norman forces ruled with an iron fist. One especially cruel member of the new ruling class was Roland of Alain -- who aimed to crush any resistance from those he regarded as peasant upstarts. One such "upstart" was Carrick. He and his band of rebels were determined to put up a fight against their oppressors. A fight to the death, if necessary. Weekly British War comics digest.

Spray lashed the cockpit screen, blinding the big pilot as he fought the bucking controls to belly-land the crippled Albacore in the choppy sea. Once, twice, she bounced before she hit the icy water at terrifying speed. This was the second time young "Gusty" Bellows of the Fleet Air Arm had come off second-best to Kapitan Kreuzmann of the German Navy -- the ruthless Kreuzmann, with his submarine mother-ship, "Seewolf," bristling with guns, and his pack of U-boats. But Gusty was determined that next time it would be different -- if there was a next time. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Sky Warriors - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Jaume Forns. Cover by Ian Kennedy. Towards the end of World War II, the Balkan Air Force operated over Greece and Yugoslavia, supplying the Partisans and fighting Axis air power. Made up of men and aircraft of many different nationalities, it was an uneasy alliance at the best of times. Former enemies were expected to put aside their differences and work together. The tensions looked to have come to a head when Polish fliers clashed with a newly-arrived Russian unit...but that was just the start. Weekly British War comics digest.

Staff-Sergeant Harry Sale of the Special Air Service had fought his way out of more tight corners than he cared to remember. Now he was across in the USA, away from the bullets and the bombs, passing on his specialised knowledge to squads of hand-picked Yanks.

The jungle can be a hostile place -- besides the strength-sapping heat and humidity, dangerous animals and plants abound.

D-Day Dodgers - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Vicente Alcazar. Cover by Ian Kennedy. In 1944, someone named the servicemen in Italy the D-Day Dodgers; as though somehow the war they were fighting was a cushy number compared to the battles in France. Outraged, one national newspaper decided to expose these loafers once and for all. That's how reporter Perry Potter and his photographer Chalky White came to be standing on a freezing airfield in "sunny" Italy.

Knight of the Eagles - Written by Ferg Handley. Art and Cover by Keith Page. England, 1405 AD. Peasants in Somerset wanted rid of the Allinghams, their feudal overlords. The Allinghams' men were as brutal and cruel as their masters. Taxes were high and collected without mercy. Salvation seemed to come in the shape of Mortimer Allingham -- the cunning son of the clan who had been disowned by his father. He planned to turn one of the locals, John Carrick, into the "Green Knight" -- a figure from local myth -- and lead a rebellion.

Burden of Command - Written by Alan Hebden. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino. The accepted wisdom is that to command a group of fighting men, a leader needs to inspire. Sometimes he needs to inspire confidence, sometimes loyalty...and sometimes fear. Flight Lieutenant Garry Fraser didn't really agree with the accepted wisdom; he was one of the lads and in his mind that's how things would stay when he was promoted. Then his chance came and Garry had to deal with...the burden of command. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

There was only one thing that Sergeant Jack Brett and his Matilda tank crew hated as much as the Germans, and that was a certain tank transporter crew from the Royal Army Service Corps. When they weren't fighting the one, they were fighting the other. And so, when all three met on the Egyptian desert, it meant trouble. But the handful of British soldiers had a big, big problem -- they had to stop the advance of a huge German column...with their single damaged Matilda and that one tank transporter!

Tensions were still high between them when, en route to a drop zone, history repeated itself. Alec's Horsa glider smashed into Ron's, sending both spiraling downwards.

He survived, but that night continued to haunt him -- and he couldn't work out why! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Flieger Abwehr Kanone -- a German mouthful that was shortened to "flak," a word dreaded by every Allied pilot. It meant anti-aircraft guns, those multi-barrelled cannon and deadly 88-millimetre guns that could blast attackers out of the sky. Every important target in Nazi Europe bristled with them. Mosquito pilot Terry Franklin had met his fair share of flak and it terrified him. Yet here he was in a new squadron whose job it was to attack only the most difficult targets!

In summer 1642, a full-scale civil war erupted between the armies of the Royalist "Cavalier" and the Parliamentary "Roundheads."
