Indexer Notes

(1) Jim Amash, in the Quality Companion (TwoMorrows, 2011), page 13, states that this story was Cuidera's last PENCILED issue. Thus the ink credit for this story is listed with a ?.
(2) Letterer credit per Cuidera and added by Craig Delich 2012-1-15.
(3) Seven Blackhawk planes are depicted on page 6 panel 7, suggesting an additional Blackhawk joined the airfight. The 1 unidentified member is likely Zeg (or possibly Boris).
(4) Chuck is named in this story (however he is erroneously shown with black hair). He was introduced in a single panel (page 2 panel 4) in the previous issue.
