War and Attack #62
The issue contains at least two stories. The first story depicts a jet pilot who is rammed by a MiG while flying over Communist territory, forcing him to eject and be rescued by a U.S. Air Force helicopter; a general later commends him and his fellow pilots for their teamwork in the effort. The second story, titled "The Longest War," describes B-58 Hustler supersonic bombers carrying nuclear weapons stationed over the polar ice cap to deter Soviet attack, illustrating the Cold War arms race and the constant threat of mutual destruction between superpowers. A third story involves Allied soldiers discovering and fighting Nazi forces in an underground bunker system, with soldiers encountering mines and explosive booby traps as they work to eliminate the hidden enemy position.
