Fightin' Air Force #44
An anthology issue containing two military aviation stories: "No Ticket Home" follows a narrator's difficult experiences under Lt. Bernard Wohl's strict command, culminating in Wohl being court-martialed for mistreating his crew after injuries sustained in combat. "Mosquito's Sting" depicts Army pilot Lt. Ray Tosek conducting a dangerous low-level bombing run in New Guinea against Japanese positions, with 2nd Lt. Landon executing a daring power-dive maneuver to escape enemy fire and successfully complete the first day of operations for the new P-51 fighter.
