Commando 5939-5941


The next Commando set features brand-new Braddock who is headed to Java, a mighty tale about the Sopwith Camel, and some old favourites. Issues 5939-5942 on sale today, 12th March. 


5939: Braddock: Battle for Java 

After his prototype mosquito was destroyed, ace pilot Sergeant Matt Braddock found himself without an aircraft to fly. But being bounced around from airfield to airfield, then evacuated to India, Braddock soon spies opportunity in the form of a Blenheim without a crew. Now he can take the fight back to the Japanese!
    But how does Braddock go from flying his bomber with his navigator, George Bourne, to flying a hurricane fighter plane solo?!

5940: You Die At Dawn
 
Alone and weary, Lieutenant Rob cautiously embarked down the boulder-strewn Italian mountainside, his eyes searching the night for any sign of the Nazis. He was cold and tired and felt he could sleep for a week... but still he forced himself on.
    He knew that if he failed in this mission, death and destruction would smash the Allied armies when the first light of dawn lit up the angry sky...

5942: Stop Them!
 
The German armoured column roared through the Italian countryside, heading for what was supposed to be a lightly-defended pass through the mountains.
