Notes

• Blackhawk:
  • Chuck or Olaf gets shot down. Both are in the same plane at the time, and the pilot isn't identified.
  • Blackhawk gets head-konked unconscious, for the fifth time, with a pistol butt. It takes two solid-looking whacks to do it. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
• Death Patrol
  • Yogi is still absent.
• PT Boat
  • Perry Tobias gets yet another bullet wound, and so does Paul Harvey. That's Tobias shot for the third time, and Harvey shot for the fourth.
• Also appearing in this issue of Military Comics were:
  • "Aurora" (nonfiction article, describing Aurora Borealis)
  • Johnny Doughboy by Bernard Dibble
