It’s no surprise the Allies won the war. If a feckless wonder like Ben Collis can go around killing people what hope did the Nazis have?
He can fly a Bristol Blenheim like he's ringing a bell, he can pinpoint targets like he’s shooting Wamp rats in Beggar's Canyon, he kills Nazis by the trainload, he brings himself and his crew alive back from every mission. And he’s still not happy!
Put simply Collis is an idiot. But the fates and pocket war comic gods will take this all away from him and turn him into a grease monkey.
Now imagine if he were an American and not some limp Englishman. The story would be forced into a different direction. Instead of flying around and moaning that he’s not in a Hurricane he’d be flying around, blowing up Nazis and saying/muttering/shouting “Want some? – Ha!” “Want some of this?” “Damn Nazis start something!” “Want me to finish it!” –ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Instead when he gets excited he says "wizard".
Otherwise it's a pretty good story where the hero gets want he wants only to throw it away for one moment of glory - but in a nice little play on the title he gets another chance at that one moment.

However in the art department I get the feeling this story may have undergone a few revisions or was made up on the fly. The barrage balloons appear to have been created with some disinterest and look hastily drawn. The interior of the Blenheim looks like it shouldn't (without going into detail) it looks very spacious and comfortable. Also most of the uniforms are just a little too neat for my liking. Also the aircraft look more like the idea of what they should look like rather than what they actually look like.
In the end Collis mans up, give himself an uppercut and gets on with it.

Those Nazis know how to make the local till a field.
Lessons for bad guys number 23. Don't go around saying how you wish it wasn't you. You'll only bring your comrades to a sticky end.
How could the German's expect to win after being faced with such politeness?
From now on this is how I cus..."Name of a dog!"
Ahhh the early Blenheim Mk1. Sex in the skies having a smack at the Nazi war machine.
Why car D.K384?
You kill people for living. Keep it together man!You're starting to creep me out.
...a small one man fighter could penetrate the defences...
Fritz was an idiot. All the other guys in the flak unit knew it and they did their best to ignore him.
...badly drawn barrage balloons. That'll keep the bombers away.
Oh that instance between Agggh! and the end!
Just like shooting Wamp rats in Beggar's Canyon.
Nazi ariel euphanasia ridding the skies of looney Englishmen since 1939.
Expensive clatter - much much worse than the cheap ones.
Seems like a fair exchange, eight rockets for six Tiger tanks.
Run you scared Nazis!
