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!

Eighty-Eight! - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Jaume Forns. Cover by Ian Kennedy. It's not every day you see a German 88mm gun being operated by a group of "Fighting Kiwis" -- New Zealanders from a British and Commonwealth Expeditionary Force battling in Greece, determined to hold back the German onslaught. But this was not an everyday story. Thanks to a bungling SS officer, the Kiwis were able to help themselves to the enemy artillery's pride and joy. Having been relentlessly pounded by the very same guns, they decided to give the Jerries a taste of their own medicine! Weekly British War comics digest.

Barracuda Attack! - Written by Bill Styles. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino. At flying training school, they said Sub-Lieutenant Martin Archer wasn't good enough to be a fighter pilot. Too steady, they said, not quick enough to react. What they couldn't say was that he lacked nerve. And that was just as well because they gave him a Fairey Barracuda dive-bomber to fly into the teeth of flak and fighters. That took guts of a different kind altogether.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #55: Torpedoes Away! - Written by Maitland. Art by Peter Ford. Cover by Graeme Miller. They called it the riskiest job in the RAF. To throw a big Beaufort torpedo bomber around the sky like a fighter-plane; to battle through flak and air attack right up to target; to roar in on your torpedo-run a bare 50 feet above the waves and lay your single "tinfish" right in the belly of a German warship...and then to fight your way back out of the flame and fury you've stirred up and bring your bomber and crew safe home. This was the job of a Beaufort pilot...and it took a special breed of hero to do it. Young Bill Overby was a Beaufort pilot, one of the best. He couldn't help becoming an ace. You see, it looked as if Bill didn't care about staying alive. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #2178: Dragon-Ship - Written by Bill Fear. Art by Keith Shone. Cover by Jeff Bevan. A Viking longship, its fierce dragon head staring proudly out from the prow, rode the choppy seas as it pulled away from the Norwegian coast. But this was 1940, and the ship was manned not by Vikings but by the crew of an RAF flying-boat, a couple of British army officers and a Norwegian. Just what was going on?

Drop Zone Danger - Written by Bill Styles. Art by Olivera. Cover by Janek Matysiak. Loading supplies on to C47 Dakotas wasn't the most glamorous job in the Far East. Hard work even for strong men and vitally important, but hardly the stuff of death-defying adventures. So, as Private Seth Yarrow and his mates diligently got on with their back-breaking chores, they never once imagined that they'd end up alongside a unit of Chindits -- fighting the Japanese deep in the heart of the Burmese jungle!

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #2210: The Secret Tanks - Written by David Heptonstall. Art by Gordon Livingstone. Cover by Jeff Bevan. The French Char-B tank was one of the best fighting vehicles of the Second World War. But France had surrendered in 1940, so why were there a lot of them in the desert in 1943? And why did they have enemy markings? It was a secret which the Germans were determined to hide but which the Allies were equally determined to uncover. Weekly British War comics digest.

During the Second World War, most officers fought gallantly alongside their men. But a few -- like a certain Lieutenant Fairfax -- were cowardly, incompetent and more likely to endanger their own troops than the enemy. You can bet that any man serving under Fairfax would very soon be...heading for trouble! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

The Battle of Blood Island - Written by Alan Hebden. Art and Cover by Keith Page. Though it was known as "The Blooded Jewel," the island of Ula was a peaceful place, its name derived from spectacular sunsets and sunrises, not warfare. Sitting in the ocean west of Scotland's Outer Hebrides, the inhabitants were mainly fisher folk whose only enemies were the elements -- wind and sea. That all changed early in the First World War when a force of German raiders swarmed ashore. Caught up in the action were two schoolboys. Upon them depended the outcome of...the battle of Blood Island! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

The Sky Pirates - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Morahin. Cover by Ian Kennedy. Pilot Officer Mike "Midge" Mercer flew a Vought Corsair fighter for the Fleet Air Arm in the Pacific -- fending off hordes of Japanese aircraft as he and his fellow fliers protected the Allied fleet. To begin with, it seemed that the Corsairs -- nicknamed Pirates -- had the edge. But the Japanese had another card to play which posed a deadly question to the FAA pilots. Just how did you beat an enemy willing to sacrifice their own lives? Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

The two young officers had never seen anything like it. A huge German train bristling with guns and covered with armour plating -- it was like a warship on wheels. And, as they would discover, when that warship got steam up, it was unstoppable...even if another train got in the way! Weekly British War comics digest.

At top speed, the four British jeeps raced across the sand. Travelling by day was risky, but these desert raiders had vital information that had to be relayed at all costs.

Operation Nachthexen - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art and Cover by Carlos Pino. The German forces that invaded the Soviet Union had much to fear once the Russians' fightback got into its stride.
