Fightin' Air Force #15
"Might Makes Right" follows a military pilot named Ellis who intercepts an unidentified foreign submarine and must decide whether to take evasive action or continue surveillance. After spotting Japanese gunners and coming under fire, Ellis engages the target area and destroys enemy positions, though he discovers his unnecessary flight maneuver has caused collateral damage to a nearby city. Upon returning to base, Ellis faces criticism from superiors for the civilian casualties, but the story concludes with a lesson about the difficult moral choices required in wartime operations.
