Issue Description

…A Coastal Command Liberator matches guns and guts with three massive Focke-Wulf Kuriers in the sky battle of the century!

Introduction by Calum Laird, Editor

The cover sort of says it all, doesn't it? Ken Barr, the first of the Commando cover artists does a magnificent job of cramming two of the biggest warplanes of the Second World War on to one of our covers without it looking crowded. His battle-damage and flames hint at the action inside and anyone looking behind the battle would not be disappointed.

Peter Ford almost specialised in aircraft stories in the early days. And with good reason, he really brought them, and the men who flew them, to life.

After that, you'd think the story might be over-shadowed, but it's not. There's as much aggro amongst the British as there is between them and the enemy but it all gets sorted out in the end…or does it?

First published in 1963, No. 90.
