Synopsis:

The German Air Force has been playing the war of attrition with the RAF, and at the current rate, would wipe them out. However, newbie pilot, John Bassford, is eager but terrified when called to do battle in his first mission, and makes several blunders and has to bail out. In his second engagement, the whole squadron is shot down and Bassford is now left alone against the Luftwaffe, being shot down himself. But he has a surprise in store when he awakens from the mission in a hospital.

Story occurs in September, 1940.

Pencils credit from Richard Arndt via his Complete Warren Magazines index (www.enjolrasworld.com).

Former Wood assistant, Ralph Reese, strongly disputes Adkins having anything to do with this story. In Fantagraphic's "Atomic Bomb and Other Stories, Illustrated by Wally Wood" (2020), Reese emphatically recalled this story as "some of his (Wood's) best work from that time......that was one that he completely did himself, and I don't think he even had anybody artograph the airplanes for him." When asked by Thommy Burns (for this Fantagraphics' volume) for any additional comments regarding Adkin's claims on this story, Reese added: The "Battle of Britain!" story was a labor of love for Wood, and, as I remember it, he (Wood) wouldn't let anyone else touch it."

Another Wood assistant, Paul Kirchner, states: "A lot of assistants give the impression that they did more work than they did. This has given Wood no small amount of grief. He always has control."

Thus a ? has been placed next to any Adkins credits on this piece. There is too much controversy re this story to completely verify the true situation.

Synopsis:

An officer of the JV-44 Commando Fighter Group gathers around his plane and was reminded that, back in 1938, that General Galland took up the ME-262 for a test flight, and he was impressed. But Hitler was not impressed and only viewed the plane as a blitz bomber, not a fighter, thus destroying its effectiveness, and slowing the plane down enough to be shot down by enemy fighters. Thus, the plane never realized its full potential, and because it was so late in the war, which was as good as lost, the officer is ordered to set fire to his plane.

Story occurred on May 3, 1945. Parts are in flashback.

Ralph Reese states that "I worked on "ME-262" story....I artographed all the planes, etc.....filled in Craftint, did all the assistant-type stuff."

Thommy Burns, in Fantagraphics "Atomic Bomb and Other Stories, Illustrated by Wallace Wood" (2020), states that Goodwin plotted the story and Wood scripted it, as well as also lettering the story (changes made in credits above). No mention of Adkins having anything to do with the inks, so ? placed by his name.
