Commando Comic No. 079 – Spitfire Ace

Description

Summary:

“WING MAN” . . . it doesn’t sound like much . . . just tailing along, following the leader, watching the Spitfire ahead make all the ‘kills’. Yet being wing man to a fighter ace was the greatest honour, and the toughest job in the R.A.F. It took a special kind of man to do that job, a special kind of guts to sit tight on your leader’s tail all through the spinning, whirling fury of a dog-fight; guts to shield him with your plane and your body from the blazing cannons of maybe three pursuing Messerschmitts; and guts never to relax your constant watchfulness for a second, for the enemy waiting to pounce.

Here is the story of big, husky Canadian ex-mountie Buck Bosey, who was reckoned to be the best wing man in the business, and the one mistake he made . . .
