I have 6 of the 8 pages from this story. In early 1944, the Allies were starting to get some traction in WWII on all of the fronts. The lower part of Italy was in hand; the Soviets were pushing from the East; and the D-Day Invasion was coming soon enough. Progress in the Pacific was slower.

This page is a standout for all of its classic stereotyping of the times. Patriotic war heroes. A Femme Fatale. Plenty of racial caricatures.
