Issue: #14
Publisher: DC
Year: 10/1954
Grade: VG 4.0

A straight-ahead WWII anthology of stand-alone stories. The lead follows an infantry squad ordered to hold a crossroads under armor and mortar pressure, told through a jittery radioman who learns steadiness in the pocket. A fighter-plane tale flips the spotlight from the glory-hunting ace to the discipline of flying wing in a chaotic dogfight. Combat engineers then race to throw a bridge across a shelled river while a forward observer guides artillery onto hidden guns. The closer shifts to the sea as a destroyer crew plays a tense night hunt with a lurking submarine. One-page “service life” fillers break up the action, keeping the focus on ordinary GIs and practical heroism.
