The Sergeant and the Squad - Written by Ferg Handley. Art by Luis Olivera. Cover by Janek Matysiak. He was a tough loner, a veteran of the war in the Far East, a survivor of the terrors of the jungle and a hundred brutal fights against the Japanese. The last thing he wanted was to take a group of raw recruits under his wing. To them, he was more like a machine than a man...and a killing machine at that -- gruff, remorseless and cold. To them, he was the only man who could get them through the war. But some of those rookies worried that they'd end up just like...the Sergeant. Weekly British War comics digest.

This is the inside story of two ace British fighter pilots, and the strange and deadly rivalry that drove them to outfly, outshoot and outdare each other through every risky second of their dog-fights with the mighty Luftwaffe.

The Supermarine Walrus -- slow, lumbering and almost defenceless. Not much of a plane, you might think. But to the RAF Air/Sea Rescue service, these aircraft were priceless, plucking flyers and sailors from the sea, often in atrocious weather. As the pilot of one of these remarkable boats, Ted Brewer took all this in stride. But then the day came when he himself was in danger of drowning unless a Walrus came along to save his life!
