Synopsis
Christmas Eve, 1917. Von Hammer is alone in the sky above the Western Front when the guns go quiet and something happens that the war has no category for. John Byrne's story reaches back to the Enemy Ace's earliest premise — the man apart, the reluctant killer — and frames it in the only light that can make it bearable. This is a completely silent (wordless) 8-page story where Hans von Hammer flies his Fokker Triplane to a British field hospital on Christmas Day, delivers food and medicine, briefly dances with a nurse, and flies away.
