Issue Description

The photo-reconnaissance Spitfire flew so high and so fast, that it was considered safe from German fighters. Except, that is, when the enemy was an Me262 jet piloted by Max von Mellenburg.

Max had flown Luftwaffe planes over Britain and Russia with deadly success. Now he was preparing to defend the skies of his homeland as the Allies closed in for the final battle.

Introduction

Brought to you by a trio of top Commando contributors, this sterling air story features a premise which, when used sparingly, can be very effective, as Alan Hebden shows here. For a change, we are firmly on the side of a German hero - a Luftwaffe pilot who has no allegiance to the arrogant and cowardly Nazis.

There are stunning aircraft illustrations throughout from Jose Maria Jorge, and Ian Kennedy's Me262 jet is so dynamically drawn that it looks set to practically soar off the front cover.
