Synopsis
Von Hammer faces a young American pilot fresh to the Western Front — eager, reckless, and destined to meet the Hammer of Hell on his very first real engagement. The gap between the rookie's romantic conception of aerial combat and its brutal reality is the story's subject.
Collector Notes
The American pilot's enthusiasm, rendered without condescension by Kanigher's script and Kubert's expressive linework, makes the issue's conclusion one of the run's most affecting.
