U.S. Fighting Men #12
This is an anthology issue containing three war stories. "Across the Lines" follows Pok, an eighteen-year-old Korean boy who loves America and joins the U.S. Air Force as a starter after the Red invasion of South Korea, despite initial hesitation from his brother. "Heroes Never Die" depicts Major Johnny Anger and his Flying Dragons squadron on a perilous mission to cover a French offensive in Indo-China, where they must play the role of "red killers" to succeed. The third story, visible in the balloon-ride sequence, features a man who purchases a hot-air balloon and becomes a balloon pilot, touring the country with exhibitions and eventually facing mechanical challenges with his aircraft.
