Notes
- In Master of Mankind, several undestroyed robots remain upright at the end of the final fight. Presumably one or more of those were captured.
- In The Doom Cloud, the 5th panel of the 2nd page, the Blackhawks arrive on the scene in seven F-90Cs. Up until now they've been traveling in six. It's probably an error, because seven jets are not again seen in the same panel. And in the 3rd and 4th panels of the 3rd page, Chop Chop is definitely riding in the same cockpit with Blackhawk.
- At this story's end, the Blackhawks have captured Nichivo's flying glider-carrier, and are ready to donate it to Nationalist China.
- In The Red Professor's Secret, the 3rd panel of the 2nd page, Hendrickson reminds everyone that Germany is his old home.
- Also featured in this issue of Blackhawk was: "Intercepted Peril" (text story, featuring Blackhawk)
