Issue Description

An unreasoning hatred, triggered by an enemy pilot's code of honour in the First World War, festered through the years - to erupt once more in a desperate duel in the skies above France in the Second World War.

And the outcome was an unexpected as it was deadly…

Introduction

Happily retired since 1999, Gordon Livingstone was one of Commando's stalwart artists, drawing hundreds of stories from the title's beginning in 1961. This 1989 book is a shining example of the distinctive line art that made him such a hit with Commando fans throughout the decades, myself included.

If you'd like to compare it to Gordon's earlier work, look no further than this month's Gold Collection classic - "Dead Of Night" (No 4756, originally No 141, from 1964). It's interesting to see that even in the earliest days of his career Mr Livingstone's work was just as memorable as it is here. Wonderful stuff.
