The stories

“The Phantom Saboteur”

The Blackhawks raid a Russian spy house and a fight ensues. Amid the chaos, Russian Colonel Nichevo and some men take Olaf away into the Soviet Union. There, he is brainwashed by Dr. Kurov into becoming a saboteur and spy for the reds.

“David and Goliath In the Sky”

The story of a World War I battle between British Lt. S.D. Culley and his Sopwith Camel fighter plane against a great German zeppelin.

“The Temple of Doom”

Tavis, a defense contractor to the nations of the free world, demonstrates a new “ducted-fan aircraft” (an individual flying platform) to Blackhawk and his men. Ushering them aboard a larger version of the craft that seats all seven Blackhawks, Tavis (from a safe vantage point) activates a remote control that spirits them off to an unnamed Communist nation. There, the waiting General Molok, a dictator and would-be filmmaker, forces the Blackhawks to perform in a propaganda film - with deadly consequences for the Magnificent Seven.

“The Black Flag”

250 years before, the infamous pirate, Morgan, attempted to land on an island to bury his war booty, but was driven away. Now, to commemorate 250 years of freedom, the islanders of Hermoso invite the Blackhawks to the celebration. However, a real, evil pirate of sorts named Morgg intervenes and stages a real invasion.
