| The Japanese made a big mistake the day their bombs wrecked Tony Grant's |
| transport plane. For they left Tony stranded on a Burmese airfield with |
| a bunch of wild, undisciplined American pilots and their Curtiss |
| fighters. |
| |
| So what happened? Tony joined the Yanks and gave them some new ideas |
| on how to win the war. Soon the very sight of these planes was enough |
| to make the toughest Japanese quake in his boots. |

| Introduction |
| They say it's dangerous to revisit things you remember from long |
| ago, especially in childhood. Things change so much that you are almost |
| always disappointed. So, when Alan Williams suggested re-issuing this |
| story as part of our By Special Request season, I had reservations as |
| I'd read the book often as a child - and enjoyed it so much - that I |
| was sure it was going to be a let-down. |
| |
| Fortunately this was not the case as the team of Brunt, James and |
| Porto deliver a cracking story which was just as sound as I remembered. |
| Phew! |
| |
| On this showing, it's a pity that Sandy James only ever illustrated |
| two Commandos and Porto did but three covers. Gordon Brunt, though, |
| wrote around 35 stories. If they're all as good as this, they should be |
| in the next request season. |
