Jet Fighters #6
The issue contains two main stories focused on Korean War aerial combat. "Awkward Squadron" depicts a ragtag group of Air Force misfits who become essential when the chips are down, shown protecting B-29 bombers on a bombing run over North Korea with escorting Thunder Jets against enemy MiGs. "Circus Pilot" features test pilot Harry Burns, whose unconventional landing techniques initially earn him ridicule from commanders, but he is called upon to qualify for carrier landings aboard the USS Georgetown before the ship heads to Korea for combat operations.
