Episode 10 of Aircraft in Comics features some of the most incredible WW2 combat scenes produced by Francis Bergèse. Despite the fact that the excerpts are from a comic called "the Battle of Britain", the story goes from the Dunkirk days until the last days of the Luftwaffe!

Wow! I quite agree that this is some of the best comics on German WWII planes I have ever seen. The shape of the planes are represented very good although some of the markings look fictional.

Thanks for sharing

These are excellent works! One question, did the unicorn pilot survive the P-51?

I grew up reading various military comics and these influenced my seeking a career in art as an illustrator. Enemy Ace,
The Haunted Tank, and
Sgt. Rock were my original enjoyments, but I really treasured issues with Sam Glanzman's autobiographical USS Stevens ( in the page is the first page of one of my favorite storys: Dragonfly ).

Glanzman was one of my favorite artists, but IIRC my favorite was John Severin. My pencil and pen & ink scratchings are greatly influenced by their techniques and style.
