Wings Comics #75
Captain Wings stars in "The Sky Hag," a story in which Wings and his colleague Cochran plan a secret supply mission behind Japanese lines in Burma, using gliders to deliver ammunition and munitions to support a jungle army. When photos reveal the Japanese have discovered one of their landing strips, Phil makes a final check and finds it destroyed, but the mission proceeds at dusk with two glider transports towing toward a new field called "Broadway." The operation succeeds despite a mule kicking a hole in a glider wall, and the jungle army's subsequent victories are attributed to the Air Commando tactics pioneered by Cochran. The issue also includes the Phantom Falcon and Ghost Squadron stories as indicated on the cover.
