Subtitles: Here we a a bunch of far too happy men trying to reassemble their Hellcat target drones somewhere in the poppy fields of the Golden Triangle. Hence the big goofy grins and big goofy hats.

And of course the guy on the left has the famous one page repair checksheet, essential when your airplane is basically a basket job. People who know motorcycles will get the reference. I bet their sheet goes something like this:

1) Wreck the plane - Check

2) Hit from the indiginous people's pipes - Check

3) Grin big goofy grins a lot - Check

4) Put on your big goofy hats - Check

5) Get the guy in the red shirt that looks like Rocco to hook the radio up - Check (this one I am not explaining if you don't know what it means you don't watch enough movies...LOL)

6) Sing YMCA - No check we're still waiting on the radio, hurry up Rocco!

Uuuuuh..I believe 'Rocco' is the Doc Strange referred to at the top of the cover. The happy chap carrying the engine is The Black Terror, and of course, the guy with the big goofy minuteman hat is none other than 'Fighting Yank'.

Now, what I want to know is why these guys are reliving the good old days of high school shop class, and not out there mixing it up with the japs...

p.s. my theory about why everyone is yukking it up is that Doc Strange just ripped a big one in the cockpit...

LMAO!

Which would explain the quiet look of determination on Rocco's face, then again knowing Rocco...nevermind.

And I also tend to think these guys would get shot down a lot less often if they wouldn't keep insisting that orange is a good low visibility paint scheme for the PTO. Then again since most of it is water they could be hoping the 3-D "tell me what number you see" pop-up book effect ala the eyedoctor is in effect. Maybe the enemy isn't wearing their glasses so can't pick them out? Obviously they can.

Yeah, also notice that Fighting Yank, who is within closest range to the cockpit, is the only one not laughing.


As for the paint scheme, it's obvious they're tough hombres who aren't afraid to bait their enemy. They probably also string Christmas lights on their nightfighters, just for kicks.

True, Fighting Yank seems less than impressed with Rocco's hijinks. In fact he's either using that wing section as a large fan or is contemplating smacking Rocco with it.

Now here's a question, who'd go to a doctor named Doctor Strange? For some reason that makes me think of Dennis Hopper and Blue Velvet. I bet they're all laughing cause Fighting Yank stepped on an ear...

Dammit Schatt, you just got me back for all those Sleestak moments...

'Blue Velvet' is the one movie that has truly given me the creeps. When people ask me what the scariest movie I ever saw was, I still say 'Blue Velvet'.

(Zhukov makes a dash for the bedroom and hides under his bed...)

Well everyone says that Fighting Yank has an electric personalilty, maybe that's why he looks so unamused at the whole situation...

BTW, are you implying that Fighting Yank has a built-in cigarette lighter? Cool! Now that's what I call a super power!!!
