Issue Description
With complete disregard for himself and his navigator, Colin Hamble threw his Mosquito around the sky like a madman. His only thought was to ruthlessly kill his enemy.
Well, the day came when he was given something a lot slower than a Mossie - a Walrus amphibian with a top speed of about 130mph. Colin soon found that saving lives needed a lot more guts and skill than taking them!
Introduction
Mention a Commando air story to someone and there's a good chance they'll describe aerial action involving sleek fighters like Spitfires, Me109s, Corsairs or Zeroes - and they'd be right to, of course.
However, it's good when a tale does something different, focussing on a lesser-known aircraft - like the Supermarine Walrus, for example. These trusty amphibian bi-planes were a sight for sore eyes for many a downed pilot - for they were used for vital RAF air-sea rescue missions, their brave crews saving many lives. Proving once again that Commando's format has the scope to tell stories that can be a little less obvious than what might be expected.
Scott Montgomery, Deputy Editor
