Submarine Attack #46
This issue contains two World War I stories depicting submarine warfare. "Second Chance" follows a German U-boat (U-143) conducting raids on coastal shipping, with crew members ordered to attack Allied vessels in the harbor. "Rabaul" details a massive Japanese military fortress in the South Pacific that served as an enemy base, describing how American carrier-based fighters and torpedo planes conducted strikes against it, with Lieutenant Al Mossley leading a flight and barely returning after heavy anti-aircraft fire. The stories emphasize the danger and drama of naval combat during the war.
