Nostalgia Alert: “Polish Pilot” – Commando War Comic No. 2383 Who else grew up reading these classic Commando comics? Do you know they are still in publication and available via subscription? There is something magical about those pocket-sized war stories packed with action, drama, and incredible artwork! This issue, No. 2383 – “Polish Pilot” follows Karl Latek, a Polish pilot who had flown outdated PZL-11 fighters in the 1939 campaign, now taking to the skies in a modern Hawker Hurricane to seek vengeance against the Luftwaffe. It’s a classic tale of courage, determination, and revenge — pure Commando style! Commando comics like this one introduced so many of us to the Second World War on land, sea and in the air. Even though they’re fictionalised, these stories helped keep the memory of these brave pilots alive for generations and rubbed imaginations to seek out more information. Do you still have a collection of old Commando comics tucked away? What was your favourite issue or series growing up? Are there anymore Polish themed issues? Drop your memories in the comments — we’d love to hear them! 👇 And if you’re a fan of Polish aviation history, stories like this are a fantastic (if dramatised) gateway into the real heroic exploits of the Polish Air Force in exile. #CommandoComics #PolishPilot #WWIIComics #PolishAirForce #Nostalgia #WarComics #BattleOfBritain #PolishHeritageFlight @ww2headquarters @WeHaveWaysPod @CommandoComic

British comics 🇬🇧 Commando For Action & Adventure, formerly known as Commando War Stories in Pictures, & colloquially known as Commando Comics, is a British comic book magazine that primarily draws its themes & backdrops from the various incidents of the First and Second World Wars. It was first published in July 1961 and is still in print today. It is noted for its distinctive 7 × 5½ inch, 68 page format that became a standard for these kinds of stories. "Commando" has remained more popular than many other British war comics, because of its character based stories & detailed black & white artwork, with only the covers in colour. It is considered by some to be one of the greatest war comics in history. The stories contain certain characteristic motifs; to mention a few – courage, cowardice, patriotism, dying for the sake of one's country, noble actions, & making a cup of refreshing tea while in the face of danger, enmity turning into friendship when the going gets tough, & so on. Apart from portraying these universal qualities, Commando Comics also show soldiers in national stereotypes, glorifying Allied soldiers, but showing soldiers as a mixture of good & evil. There was usually no continuity between books; each book was a complete story with start & finish, though recently series (2 or 3 stories) of books following the same character have been published. .#comic #commando #commandocomics  #comicstrip #comicstrips #comics #childhoodmemories #britishhistory #vintagecomics #retro #retromemories #memories #warstories  #reminiscence  #iconic #british #britishcomics
