Description

'But even at full power, we'd never keep up with the formation. We'd be what every bomber crew dreaded.
Lame Duck.
The dinner bell rang like the clap of doom.'

Spring 1944: hapless waist-gunner Sarg.Leonard Wetmore and the crew of B-17 'Buffalo Gal' are over Germany on a 1500 plane raid over Nazi Germany...crippled by jettisoned bombs from above, 'Buffalo Gal' is facing the waiting staffel of FW-190 'Butcher Birds'.

'Castles in the Sky' was Garth Ennis' first outing for Avatar's War Stories after the book left Vertigo, and continues his amazing run of revisionist combat tales.I can't enough of Keith Burn's enthusiastic stories of aerial warfare. Crossing the metal-bending exuberance of Graham Coton with the painstaking accuracy of Juan Gimenez, Burns is THE current star of skies. Coupled with Garth Ennis' gritty cocktail of British war comic tropes, you've got a recipe for jaw-dropping tales of aerial derring-do.

Matthew Modine managed to get his boys home. I am sure this captain will do fine.

Wow! The battle for air supremacy! The wide dps treatment for this epic in the skies shows how vast these massive war machines are. Up close and intimate gunner and pilot panels are a great contrast with all those doohickeys.
