Issue Description

When parachutists are going to land in enemy territory they depend on the skill of the RAF pilot, for he is the one who gets the paras to their drop-zone through flak and bad weather. Nigel Reeve reckoned the RAF were a good bunch of blokes…until the day of the terrible accident when they wiped out half his men!

Introduction by Scott Montgomery, Deputy Editor

One of the great things about fiction of any kind is the way we can vicariously experience things through the characters' eyes. As a young Commando reader, I could imagine what it might be like to wade through a humid jungle, swelter in the heat haze of the desert or, as in this case, jump out of a Dakota and plummet thousands of feet into enemy territory! Jeff Bevan's vertigo-inducing cover certainly drops you straight into the heart of the action, I hope you agree.

Note: Original released as Commando No 2175 (April 1988) and it was re-issued as No 3657 (September 2003).
