War Is Hell First Flight Phantom Eagle Max #4 (OF 5)
/cover-large.jpg)
Kaufmann racks up another kill but the thrill of combat is now gone. Replacements arrive to strengthen the squad but with little training and less experience, they seem easy prey for the deadly pilots of the Hun. Can Kaufmann teach them to survive in the unforgiving skies of war torn Europe? Can he even save himself?

For some reason I get the feeling this story would have been better served being shorter, maybe three issues. I still like it, but I get a feeling of it being padded out too much.

I'm loving this Ennis/Chaykin collaboration about bonkers WWI fighter pilots. The main character is as gloriously unhinged as any of Ennis's long list of fucked up creations and Chaykin's art is as urgent as ever. There's a real sense of doom hanging over proceedings and I wouldn't be surprised to see everyone involved dead by issue #5. Fair enough, war is hell after all.
