Notes

• Published by Comic Magazines.
• Olaf gets a bullet wound, it is at least his second one. Being a Blackhawk is dangerous.
• Last issue for the Grumman XF5F Skyrockets, replaced next issue with North American F-86 Sabre jets.
• Whatever unnamed European country the story is set in, it's one where the Blackhawks earlier fought a battle, in a ravine, probably during World War II. And unlike almost all other beleaguered European nations, especially in Blackhawk, this nation's main bad neighbor is to the west of it.
• Also appearing in this issue of Modern Comics were:
  • Fuzzy by Jack Cole
  • Blackhawk: "The Great Rainfall" (text story)
