    Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #235: Flying Flea - Written by Ken McOwan. Art by Juan Manuel Cicuendez. Cover by Ken Barr. When war came to the island of Silau, south east of New Guinea, the pilots of a Royal Australian Air Force squadron laughed at two freakish-looking planes already operating there. "Pop" Onslow and his son, Willie, ran an air-freight business which used an ancient Vickers Virginia bomber and an odd little crate called a "Flying Flea" -- the Aussies reckoned it looked like a motor bike with wings. When Willie took the Flea into the air and ran rings around the latest Tomahawk fighter, the RAAF men considered letting the plucky civilians join the war effort. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.
