U.S. Air Force Comics #9

"The Jungle Eagle" depicts Captain Lewis piloting his P-38 fighter in combat against Japanese forces, engaging in an intense aerial dogfight where he demonstrates exceptional firepower before crash-landing in enemy territory. After being protected by Marines who secure the ridge position, Lewis receives a field commendation but learns of a tragic incident involving Major Apache Jimenez, whose harsh treatment of pilots causes friction with Colonel Mike over a failed mission where one of the unit's best pilots was killed in a plane explosion.
