Issue Description
They called him "The Misfit" - and with good reason. For young Tony Stacey was such a blundering fool he had been kicked out of every branch of the British Forces.
Why then did the Germans move heaven and earth to kidnap Stacey - why did the Germans whip him away to Tripoli as a vitally important prisoner?
What was so special about this dopey, meek-and-mild ex-RAF tail-gunner that they kept half the desert Luftwaffe on the ground until he arrived?
Here is the astounding story of one of the most fantastic bluffs of the war…
Introduction
I think it was Edmund Blackadder who used the expression, "more twists and turns than a twisty-turny thing." Even if it wasn't him, it fits this Clegg story well, very well. I've read a fair few Commandos in my time and I had no idea where this was going half of the time. I just trusted Commando Editor Chick Checkley's judgement and went along for the ride. A ride with some excellent early Gordon Livingstone black and whites and a typically action-packed, Ju 88-trashing Ken Barr cover.
I trusted that team and wasn't disappointed. I hope you'll do the same
Calum Laird, Commando Editor
