Star Spangled War Stories #8 (4.0)

Title: Star Spangled War Stories
Issue: #8
Publisher: DC
Year: 04/1953
Grade: VG 4.0

Another gritty WWII anthology of stand-alone tales. A sabotage squad creeps along a riverfront to blow a key bridge while dockside sentries close in; a rookie infantryman on night outpost learns calm discipline when infiltrators test the line; a bomber-escort episode shows a hot-shot fighter pilot learning to fly as a team under flak and cloud cover; and a combat-engineer/medic duo thread a mined village to pull out a wounded scout before dawn. Short “life in the service” fillers break up the action, keeping the focus on ordinary GIs solving tactical problems with nerve and teamwork.
