Why was an Airspeed Oxford trainer aircraft flying above England under cover of darkness? The gunner wondered if perhaps something secretive was going on. How right he was.

They had been tasked with engaging the Japanese on Mono Island in the South Pacific. Their superior officer, Lieutenant Jeff Danten, was not keen on mortars, seeing them as a waste of time compared to a decent machine-gun. It didn't help that Danten was also impatient and reckless, too eager to get into battle without decent tactics. It looked like the Mortar Boys had more than just the enemy to worry about.

Death on the Ground - Written by Steve Coombs. Art by Morahin. Cover by Janek Matysiak. In 1963, in the skies above a group of remote islands in the South Pacific, many military aircraft disappeared without a trace -- so many, in fact, that the area became known as the 'New Guinea Triangle.' When R.A.F. Flight Lieutenant Jon Day and his C.O., Squadron Leader Richard Gibson, became embroiled in the mystery, they discovered that their dangerous foe was on the ground as well as in the air. The Englishmen would have to improvise and use their wits to survive -- even if that meant using captured weapons to bat away enemy grenades! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

In the air war over Russia, Anton Pozetski found life dangerous and confusing. It was easy to identify the enemy -- they were the Germans and they shot at you. However, it wasn't so easy to identify your friends. For a start, the Political Commissar and the Squadron Commander were apt to stab you in the back and they regarded the R.A.F. as enemies. Life was going to prove even more difficult for Anton when he joined an R.A.F. squadron on active service. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Seeing Red - Written by Shane Filer. Art by Rezzonico. Cover by Ian Kennedy. Second Lieutenant Wesley Muldoon was a gifted but hot-headed U.S. Air Force pilot.

However, despite his idealised views, Muldoon realised he could not trust all of his new "comrades" and that danger lay ahead. Weekly British War comics digest.

The Patwari Rifles was a proud regiment, one of the Indian Army's finest fighting units. So when one of their platoons disappeared in Burma, evidently having deserted to the Japanese, the regiment's shame was fierce. There was only one thing to do -- the guilty men had to be brought back to prove themselves in battle against the enemy. If they were to die honourably doing it, so much the better -- for that was the way of the Patwari Rifles. Death with honour was better than the disgrace of a court-martial.

One day he was Flight Lieutenant "Topper" Brown -- a young, unremarkable pilot, and the idea of him becoming an ace was far-fetched. Then he was shot up and crash-landed. Out of the flames rose a new Topper -- a pilot who could fly anything with wings; an ace who could outwit the Luftwaffe and who could hold a Spitfire in flaming shreds together long enough to clear the skies of Nazis. However, his mates said Topper wasn't like himself these days. In fact, they suspected he wasn't even human anymore! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Sammy Baker's Ventura Squadron had everything going for it -- brand-new planes, top-line aircrew, the lot. So how come they got hacked out of the sky on nearly every air raid?
