The man reveals his people's legend that when volcano Rataku begins to erupt, an invader from their land will appear and destroy them, and he believes now is the time. The Blackhawks attempt to stop the rebellion before it begins by sailing to Rataku in a small boat. The issue also contains a naval combat story in which American PT boats engage a Japanese destroyer in battle, with one torpedo-armed boat successfully attacking the enemy vessel while other PT boats penetrate the destroyer screen to attack slow-moving troop transports.
Harvey Wilkins, a pilot haunted by a past crash and branded a coward, is stranded in the Chinese wilderness after faking engine trouble to avoid combat. Taken prisoner by a secretive group known as the "Flying Fool" guerrillas, he’s forced to confront his guilt and the truth about his reputation—while Blackhawk, captured and tortured, uncovers a shocking link between Wilkins and the very resistance group he once deserted.
In the tense waters of "Tin Can Alley" between Guadalcanal and Savo Island, Lieutenant Hugh "Robbie" Robinson leads his PT squadron on a nighttime mission to intercept the feared Japanese "Tokyo Express." With the help of a coordinated pincer maneuver, Robbie and Lieutenant Green close in on a Japanese task force, forcing the enemy fleet into a deadly crossfire.
On Faruk Island, fisherman Kohi lives a quiet life until Japanese forces occupy the island and seize his beloved turtles, turning him into an enemy of the occupiers. When a damaged PT boat from MTB Squadron Six washes ashore near his home, Kohi joins the crew on a dangerous mission to disrupt the Japanese landing, using his intimate knowledge of the island’s waters to help turn the tide.
Lieutenant Gene Baxter leads a U.S. shock troop landing on New Georgia Island during a coordinated amphibious assault, pushing through fierce resistance and jungle snipers to locate and destroy a Japanese artillery position. As American forces secure the beachhead and repel a major air attack, the relentless advance culminates in the final defeat of the entrenched enemy forces.
