Pilots like Charlie Chard who was only recently qualified when he and his comrades found themselves in the thick of the action against the German Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe. He and his fellow fliers were known as "Scarecrow Squadron" -- given the nickname because they were meant to chase away enemies flying over England's coast. A dicey job that, given that their planes were unarmed! Sitting in his open cockpit, Charlie wondered if any of them would survive. Weekly British War comics digest.

He put it down to one unusual incident -- the sight of a young French lad spurring him on to reach the safety of an escaping ship when he had all but given up.

His only trouble was he didn't care who he fought. Germans and British alike crumpled before his massive fists, and this got him into a lot of hot water with the MPs. When his regiment stormed up the French beaches on D-Day, there was a song in Powerhouse's heart. For this was the biggest fight he'd ever been in and he was going to enjoy every minute of it. But as things turned out, Powerhouse was promoted to corporal for bravery on the field of battle. And according to his sergeant, that meant he was a King's Corporal and couldn't be disciplined ever again. So it was that Powerhouse set out to enjoy himself in his own tough way.

The Commandos were tough, dedicated men who had risen from the funeral pyre of Dunkirk to hit back at the Nazis with blazing tommy guns and a brand of courage that was unique. Their motto -- United We Conquer! But there was one man who mocked that brave motto when he crept ashore on raids with his Commando mates.

The British patrol deep in the desert could hardly believe their eyes when they saw the tattooed sergeant. He was lurching and staggering across the burning hot sand in the last stages of exhaustion...and there on his brow, tattooed a vivid purple, were four words -- "Too tough to kill."

Young Lieutenant Jim Whitney was a fire-eating paratrooper who asked nothing better than to be dropped where the Nazis were thickest. The more there were around, the more he could shoot, Jim reckoned. When it came to fighting, you couldn't blame Jim for thinking his middle-aged scientist father was a bit past it. "Boffins" belonged in their laboratories. Yet in their most dangerous raid to date, to find out about the new German radar detectors in Sicily, Jim only discovered after he'd hit the ground that the VIP who dropped with them to steal the German secrets was none other than his own peace-loving Dad...and that was when the fighting really started.

Berlin had been a battleground throughout the Second World War -- first as Allied bombers pummelled the heart of Hitler's Reich, then later as Soviet forces overran the city. After Germany's surrender, the city was divided up amongst the Allies and, slowly but surely, tensions rose until the city became a battleground once more.

They had carried out the most perilous of missions with little more than bumps and bruises to show for it.

After all, the nearest enemy base was thousands of miles away. But that was exactly what the FAA boys did see -- for the Germans had constructed a carrier in secret and sailed it across the Atlantic to attack a vital Canadian port. Though outnumbered and outgunned, the Fleet Air Arm Martlet and Swordfish aircraft were not going to go out without a fight, and that hulking German aircraft carrier looked like a good target.

Slowly, painfully, the three RAF Hurricanes staggered through the desert sky, desperately striving to reach home and safety. The wreck in the middle had a wounded pilot slumped over its controls, as near unconsciousness as makes no difference, and all that held his tattered plane in the air was the wingtips of his comrades' planes on either side.

Meteor Strike - Written by Steve Taylor. Art by Morahin. Cover by Ian Kennedy. Flight Lieutenant Tom Dempsey enjoyed flying his Spitfire. A peerless dog-fighter, it was also measured and reliable -- just like him. On the other hand, Flight Lieutenant Rusty Clark -- pilot of a sleek new Gloster Meteor, the RAF's first operational combat jet fighter -- thought the Spit belonged in the past. He and Tom were soon at loggerheads. Their personal rivalry had to be put to one side, though, when a new enemy to be reckoned with burned into the skies over Europe -- the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt Me262 jet. Could the Spits and the Meteors work together to defeat this deadly threat? Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Ice and Fire - Written by Mac MacDonald. Art and Cover by Keith Page. For crewmen like Second Mate Alan Jones, the Merchant Navy convoys to the USSR are nerve-shredding voyages.

And sometimes, even Allies can't be trusted. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Dead Shot - Written by Dominic Teague. Art by Vila. Cover by Janek Matysiak. Young Jason Stringer was an excellent shot. Almost as soon as he joined up, his potential to become a top sniper was immediately spotted...and carefully nurtured.

But that would prove impossible when the Germans set their own super sniper against him. Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Reprinting Commando War Stories in Pictures (1961 D. C. Thomson Digest) #87: Crash Dive! - Written by David E. Bingley. Art by Victor de la Fuente. Cover by Chaco. In 1943, there wasn't a single matelot in the Royal Navy who hadn't heard of HM Submarine Dauntless. She'd sent more Japanese ships on the downward trip to Davy Jones' locker than any other vessel in the Pacific. Skipper of the Dauntless was the legendary "Mauler" Mathieson -- tough as the plates of steel that welded his sub together, and surly as a wounded bear. So when young Harry Barton was posted to the Dauntless, he reckoned he was just about the luckiest lieutenant in the Navy. But that was before he found out there could only be one officer aboard the Dauntless -- "Mauler" Mathieson himself! Weekly British War comics digest. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 68 pages, B&W.

Blood Red Desert - Written by Alan Hebden. Art by Vila. Cover by Janek Matysiak. Stu McBride, decorated war veteran turned prospector, had quite often been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This time he was in the middle of a top secret rocket range in the red centre of Australia with the Army and the Air Force after him. As if that wasn't enough, there was a bunch of heavily armed Soviet special forces men just dying to get their hands on him, too. Weekly British War comics digest.
