Sergeant Bill Marsh seemed to bear a charmed life -- or so his men said. Time after time, he missed death by a hair's breadth.

Pete Owen was a fine pilot in a Mosquito night-fighter squadron, with a growing number of kills to his name. Then he shook everybody by flying his plane, complete with the latest top-secret radar, across the Channel into German hands. He'd been playing a traitor's game all the time, it seemed. But why was he now in a German prison camp? And why was he spending every minute planning an escape? All he'd get in Britain would be a firing squad. Weekly British War comics digest.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #2481: Reluctant Assassin - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Salmeron. Cover by Mike Cox. The order was simple -- "Kill Mackheim." The reason was also simple -- he was a masterful German general who could thwart the Allied advance in this region of Italy. Captain Harry Brown, a skilled assassin, was already in the area, operating with the partisans. He was the obvious choice for the job, but there was one snag -- he had lost the will to kill in cold blood. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Firebrand! - Written by Colin Watson. Art and Cover by Janek Matysiak. Siblings Ian and John Jenkins were both R.A.F. pilots. Ian was the elder, calm and confident. John was younger and hot-headed, a definite firebrand. Based in the North-East of Scotland, they protected the coast against attack from the marauding Luftwaffe. However, when tragedy struck, John found himself embroiled in a mystery -- one that involved death, destruction and even espionage. And it seemed there was a family connection. The firebrand was determined to find the answers...whatever the cost. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

"Flame Squadron" they were called in the R.A.F. But to the baffled pilots of the Luftwaffe, they were known as "Flame Devils." When an aircraft was shot to pieces, cartwheeling across the sky in a mass of flames, somewhere in that blazing Spitfire, a cool fighting brain still functioned, a finger still pressed the firing button. Long after any pilot must have perished, each plane carried on flying. As the Luftwaffe's terror grew, one of Germany's top spies was sent to ferret out the secret of the "Flame Devils."

Making His Mark - Written by George Low. Art and Cover by John Ridgway. When World War II broke out, Mark Enfield quit his office job and enlisted in the army. Although enthusiastic, he was quite puny and unfit. Nor was he a very good shot -- and many noted the irony that he shared his surname with the famous Lee Enfield rifle that they used. He became a target of bullies among his fellow recruits in basic training and this continued when they went into battle. However, Mark was determined to stand up to his detractors once and for all, especially when his unit was tasked with destroying a strategically important bridge which was in enemy hands.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #1116: Burning Skies - Written by R.A. Montague. Art by Maidagan. Cover by Ian Kennedy. During the war, most people served in the same unit all the time. However, Jack Banham was different. He was in an Italian jail, then a front-line trench with the Greek Army, then the observer's cockpit of an Italian biplane. At one time, he was even a colonel in the Greek Army...or was it the Greek Air Force? Months afterwards, he still wasn't sure. Not that it mattered, for by that time he was a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Caught up in the Allied retreat from Norway in 1940, he and his men were determined to live to fight the Germans another day -- but they were cut off from the most direct route to the coast. Led by an intelligent but inexperienced young officer, Lieutenant John Barclay, they had to take a dangerous detour through hostile territory. Commandeering a stolen enemy truck, the retreat was on.

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.

Ram Raiders - Written by Steve Taylor. Art and Cover by Keith Page. It was a daring tactic known as the "Taran" -- using an aircraft as an aerial battering ram. Major Ilya Bezkhov of the Russian Air Force had used it on several occasions and lived to tell the tale. When the Royal Air Force took on a mission to deliver four Tomahawk fighter-bombers to the Russians, Squadron Leader Peter Deacon clashed with Bezkhov, whom he viewed as unhinged -- a danger to himself and everyone else around him. However, Bezkhov saw the interfering Englishman as a coward. Could they work together to defeat the might of the German Luftwaffe? Weekly British War comics digest.

It was only a bone, white and shiny, with odd painting and carving on it. An Aborigine mystic had said it would protect the wearer from any harm. Well, if you're an infantryman fighting in a modern war, you aren't going to believe in that kind of thing, are you?

Flak, machine-guns, searchlights, enemy fighters -- these the Nazi pilots knew and could handle. These things were dangerous, all right -- but they didn't turn a man's blood to ice water in his veins, they didn't paralyse his hands on the controls in utter, freezing terror. But the new weapon used by the R.A.F. night-fighters -- the "Ghost Squadron" -- put the fear of death into every Nazi pilot unlucky enough to come within its range. Weekly British War comics digest.

Troubled by a past encounter early in his career, Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander Alec Weston soon became a respected, if intense, skipper. He was determined that his submarine, H.M.S. Undefeated, would live up to her name -- therefore he pushed his crew and the vessel hard.

If a man's a crook in civilian life, he'll probably be a crook in the army. That's how it was with Vic Wardley. Everyone knew him to be a crook -- and a coward, as well.

The Experts - Written by Ferg Handley. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino. Lieutenant Doug MacKay was a no-nonsense agent of the Special Operations Executive -- used to doing things by the book. When tasked with uncovering vital intelligence plans from a Nazi safe deep behind enemy lines, the unyielding operator did not expect to be paired with Private Alex Drake, a former criminal but an expert safecracker. Drake was under no illusion that if ever it looked like they might be captured, his SOE mentor would rather kill him in case he cracked under interrogation. It was an uneasy alliance, to say the least. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

A Colt .45, the long barrel gleaming with gold plate, cunningly engraved. The butt of ivory, the whole weapon as perfectly balanced as a bird and on a hair trigger. Many a time, cowboy film star Brad Landon had got himself out of a movie tight corner with a lightning draw and the bang-bang of a blank from the Golden Colt. But now he was Lieutenant Brad Landon, British army, and in the thick of the Dunkirk retreat. The draw had to be faster, and the Golden Gun was spitting real lead instead of blanks.

Two young crewmen, Flinn Scott and Charlie Reeves, longed to jump ship -- as they missed their Scottish homeland so much. However, soon came the chance to get their hands on some treasure -- but they were not the only buccaneers interested.

Captain Janusz Libarcki wore his medal with pride as he fought the Red Army and the Germans during World War II, even though he eventually became a prisoner-of-war. However, when Germany turned against her Russian allies, Polish prisoners such as Janusz and his lieutenant, Lech Szost, became conscripts of the Red Army on the horrific Eastern Front. It seemed that their brutal Russian officer despised them as much as he did the Nazis. Nonetheless, the Poles were determined to honour their fallen comrades and their homeland...for the White Eagle!

To him, bombing was about as risky as delivering milk. Mike was so mad that he invited Tom aboard the Lanc for one of those "milk runs." Weekly British War comics digest.
