Synopsis
This volume differentiates itself from earlier digests by shifting its focus away from traditional superhero-adjacent combat teams toward highly acclaimed, gritty, and deeply psychological anthology short stories originally published in DC's core military titles. The Enemy Ace narrative reflects on Hans von Hammer's early days as a fresh recruit flying alongside a toxic, unprincipled German pilot named Heinrich Muller, who lacks von Hammer's strict code of military honor and fights dirty, creating intense friction between the two aviators.
