Introduction by Calum Laird, Editor

It's a Commando tradition that we make our stories as authentic and accurate as we possibly can so it's probably best to admit straight away the aircraft in this tale are not quite up to the mark. Don't let that put you off, though, the tale is otherwise well drawn and the cover is particularly fine.

The tale itself is particularly hard - especially on the Japanese. There's little sympathy for any of them in the story, written less than 20 years after the war finished.

Still, it's a fine adventure and one I hope you'll enjoy.
