| What makes a good fighter pilot? It's mostly skill, and Charles Crombie |
| had plenty of that. But it isn't only skill - you also need to be able |
| to fly through a hail of bullets and flak threatening to hack you out |
| of the sky at any minute. And that was what Charles was afraid of. |
| Then he took to wearing an old coin around his neck. It was his |
| lucky charm. As long as he had it with him, he knew no fear. |

| Introduction |
| |
| You might be |
| interested to know that the original working title for this story was |
| 'The Courage Is Inside'. Obviously, I wasn't in the Commando office in |
| 1977 when the script came in (I was aged 5 at the time). But I'm |
| guessing that one of the reasons it wasn't used is that although |
| appropriate to the subject matter, it somehow just doesn't seem |
| 'Commando-ish' enough to go in front of Ian Kennedy's dynamic cover |
| montage. |
| |
| The story's a good one - even though it features the fairly well-used |
| plot device of a lucky charm - and there's a main character that we're |
| genuinely rooting for. And it is all brilliantly illustrated, as usual, |
| by Gordon Livingstone. |

| Note: Originally published as Commando No 1152 (August 1977) and was |
| re-issued as No 2476 (June 1991). |
