War Heroes #1

This anthology issue features "Machine-Gun Hero," depicting the true story of "Manila John" Basilone, a machine-gunner whose exploits in combat during World War II are chronicled. The issue also includes a story about bomber pilot Heddrick, who uses defensive flying techniques to engage enemy aircraft during aerial combat over enemy territory. An additional narrative follows Ensign Dealey, who marries before beginning his naval training; after commissioning as a U.S. Navy submarine commanding officer in 1942, he engages in rigorous training exercises and eventually leads submarine operations in the Pacific theater against Japanese forces.
