Our Army At War #26 (2.0)
Title: Our Army At WarIssue: #26Publisher: DCYear: 09/1954Grade: GD 2.0, water stained The lead follows an infantry platoon ordered to crack a stone-walled farm that controls a crossroads; a jittery BAR man learns to keep steady fire while a flank team slips in. A combat-engineer detail belly-crawls through wire and trip mines in driving rain to keep a river bridge from being blown before armor arrives. An air tale puts a fighter on flak-soaked bomber escort, where discipline—sticking as wingman—wins out over ace-chasing glory. The closer spotlights a tank-destroyer crew using smoke, reverse slopes, and a decoy run to bait a heavier panzer into an ambush. One-page “life in the service” fillers break up the action, leaning on teamwork and practical know-how over heroics.
