Synopsis
Von Hammer intercepts a mission of strategic importance, engaging a full squadron of Allied fighters in an extended aerial engagement. The combat sequences here are some of Kubert's finest, fluid, kinetic, and ruthlessly choreographed.

Collector Notes
A more action-focused issue, but no less powerful for it. Kubert's aerial choreography reaches its peak in the extended middle sequence, with panel compositions that suggest both the speed and the terrible intimacy of WWI dogfighting.
