WAR STORIES TP VOL 05 (9781592912865)

The war rumbles on in this fifth collection of Garth Ennis' masterpiece.
Included are: the three part 'Send A Gunboat', the men of the Royal Navy's gunboat squadrons defend England's coast against Nazi raiders. The little boats are fast, heavily-armed and deadly- and terribly vulnerable. And the enemy is never far away, as the commander of one vessel finds when his German opposite number takes a dangerous interest in him and his crew.
Also the four-part 'Vampire Squadron. ' In the dark days of winter, 1940, a handful of pilots show up at a remote Royal Air Force base in rural England. Some are British, some are Poles, Czechs, French, Australians, Canadians- the orphans of Nazi-occupied Europe and the children of the Empire. No other squadron wants them, they don't even like each other much. Which is unfortunate, because they're about to take to the deadly night skies at the height of the Blitz- Hitler's dreadful aerial onslaught on the cities of Britain. This volume collects War Stories #16 - 22 of the ongoing comic book series.
