| Synopsis
| - An international terrorist calling himself "Nitro" wages a terrorist campaign of bombing against the United States, blowing up the Grand Canyon Dam, the "Silver Rocket" crack express train on the New York Central, a steel mill, and several other high-profile targets including a suspension bridge, a shipping wharf, a factory, and some office buildings. Terror spreads everywhere. The Blackhawk squadron participates in the search for the perpetrators, in cooperation with the USAF, but gets framed for starting a forest fire. Soon back at Blackhawk Island, Chop Chop spots a masked saboteur planting a bomb on a Skyrocket; the team fans out and attacks him, taking him down, but as soon as he's dragged into the HQ building, he detonates some nitro, flees the building, and rejoins his backup team to flee the island in a speedboat. Soon at the bad guys' secret island base, "Angie" is exposed by Nitro as Blackhawk in disguise; Nitro punctuates his displeasure by gunning down the two fools who brought Blackhawk to the island. Meanwhile Hendrickson and the Blackhawks have used radar to find Nitro's base, and are flying to the rescue. Nitro rants long enough about his grandiose takeover scheme to allow them time to arrive. In the final fight scene, hemmed in by Blackhawks, Nitro refuses to surrender and tries to rally his henchmen; he's killed with a submachine gun by one of his own henchman.
* The formerly-secret location of Blackhawk Island, or at least this particular version of it, is known to the villains before this story starts. Over the years there have been many bases called "Blackhawk Island."
