5955: Dutiful Death

The epic conclusion to the Valiant Stormers Forlorn Hope series!

5956: The Knife

5958: Ice-Cold Courage
 
Outdated, lumbering and cumbersome — yet Fairey Swordfish, nicknamed “Stringbags”, were incredibly successful machines. They were truly great planes and great pilots flew them, like Tony Stanning, who was eager to be in action.
    But Tony was going to need all his courage on this latest mission to attack a German battleship, for the danger wouldn’t come from the enemy guns alone. It would come from the rear cockpit too, because his observer was a useless coward...
