Don Winslow of the Navy (1943 Fawcett) 39

Stories and art by Carl Pfeufer, John Jordan, and Drake Williams. During the 1940s, military hero Don Winslow was the star of a comic strip, a movie serial and a popular radio show in addition to this Fawcett comic. Don and Red investigate after a new trans-Pacific communications cable is sabotaged. In a story from WWII, Don's assignment to pilot a ship full of dynamite through hostile waters is complicated by a US Pearl Harbor survivor who's out for revenge. As the cover advises, these issues feature "official war stories from Don Winslow's Log Book," as he, like other wartime heroes, had to explain the continued reliance on WWII stories after the war was over. Don's arch-enemy The Scorpion returns, and abducts Red and Mercedes to lead Don into a trap. Plus facts about the military and semaphore.
