We begin with the Losers in "Heads or Tails" by Robert Kanigher and John Severin. This story was reprinted in Showcase Presents: The Losers Vol. 1 TPB (2012).
Next is "The Anthill" by Bob Haney and Mort Drucker and reprinted from Our Army at War #76 (1958).
That brings us to "No Place for a PT Boat" by Hank Chapman and Joe Kubert and reprinted from Our Fighting Forces #76 (1963).
We end with The Balloon Buster in "The Firing Squad Can Wait" by Robert Kanigher and Ric Estrada. Count Von Ulricht faces a firing squad for abandoning his fellow pilots during an air battle. Allied pilot Steve Savage interrupts the execution to give testimony on behalf of his enemy. He explains that Von Ulricht broke off from formation to chase Savage. The Count is exonerated, but he does not thank his foe. Instead, he issues a challenge. Steve accepts and the two men battle it out in the skies. In the end, Savage saved Von Ulricht from the firing squad only to kill his opponent himself by shooting him down.
