Synopsis
  • A German espionage agent is picked up at sea by a fishing trawler. He soon siezes control of the trawler and sails it to Wahsington, DC, so he can attack Senator Noble. Meanwhile, Jerry Noble, the Yankee Eagle and the senator's son, is using his unusual ability to communicate with animals at the zoo. When he learns that his father has been kidnapped, he and the animals execute a rescue, including a biplane forced down by an eagle.
  • Bantam Colonel Sam Shot and his sidekick, Slim Shell, are delivering bombers from America to Britain, as navigator and radio operator, respectively. Once in the air, they discover that their pilot and copilot are actually enemy agents. The agents land the bomber on the ocean near a German submarine. The good guys get back control of the plane, blow up the sub and somehow manage to take off from the water.
  • Archie, Jack and Achmed happen across a German camp. Their mascot, Billy the goat, distracts the Germans while they plant explosives and otherwise keep the Germans busy until reinforcements arrive.
  • The Death Patrol convicts save a cargo ship from a German submarine. On shore, they discover that the Red Cross ship's cargo of food is being stolen by German agents and to be sent to Germany instead of delivered to the starving French people as intended. They board the train and toss out the food to be picked up by Frenchman. They run the train into a German air base, burn the base, steal an airplane and make their escape.
  • This issue's secret war news is about a British motorcycle commando in action on the French coast where they kidnap a German general and traitorus French general.
  • The Blackhawks jump into a dogfight over the channel between German and British planes. As they destroy the Germans, one of the British fighters deserts. When the dogfight is finished, the Blackhawks find the runaway Spitfire and escort it to Blackhawk Island. There, Blackhawk treats the young Brit with kindness but the rest of the team want nothing to do with a coward. A message arrives saying the Germans are going to seize secrets that could help them build an atomic bomb from a French scientist at the Radium Institute in Paris. The Blackhawks take off and after a series of rousing fights, rescue the scientist. But back on Blackhawk Island, they get another message that tells of a German Luftwaffe raid on its way to wipe out the Blackhawks. The British deserter finds his courage and takes off, arriving just in time to crash his Spitfire into the German bombers, redeeming himself in his death.
  • "Banks" Barrows and "Loops" McCann join the US Marines in the Philipine Islands. While on a training flight, they are forced down by a typhoon. They go to a nearby shack and discover that is the base for Japanese agents who are planning an attack on an American aircraft carrier due to arrive any minute. The new Marines overcome the Japanese and save the carrier.
  • Miss America uses her magical powers to defeat a gang of saboteurs.
  • A British recon plane is forced down in the African desert. The crew is soon under attack by Axis forces. They sent up smoke signals which are seen by Wild Bill and Boomerang. They fly the Blue Tracer to the rescue, defeating the enemy forces and delivering the important photographs back to headquarters. To get there, they defeat enemy tanks on the ground and enemy aircraft in the sky.
