Issue Description
On the morning of the 28 June 1914, two pistol shots fired in a Sarajevo street plunged the world into war.
Three years later the awful struggle had changed the face of Europe, and warfare, forever. First the machine gun and then the aircraft had brought the machine to the battlefield. Now it was the turn of another product of the arms industry to make its presence felt - the tank.
And caught up in all this was a young aircraftsman who had managed to get himself inside a tank. Question was, could he get out again?
Introduction
As a tribute to those who served during the years 1914-1918 - on the Home Front or at Front Line - Commando has produced a series of stories of characters caught up in the tumult of the First World War. None of them are real people but we'd like to think that the experiences they have will not be a million miles from what actually happened to so many.
Of all the ground-based weapons developed during the war, the tank has probably had more influence on warfare than any other. But the early tanks were almost as dangerous to those inside as outside. Bullet "splash", "spall" and poisonous fumes from their engines combined to make a truly hellish experience for the crews toiling inside their metal walls. Every one of them was a hero…as you shall see.
I hope you enjoy this and the other stories in the series as much as we have.
Calum Laird, Commando Editor
The series continues in two weeks with Assault In The Alps, Commando No 4759
