This collection of newspaper comic strips form the October 1943 - April 1944 continuity. Flight Officer Terry is now a busy fighter pilot since an Axis spy, the notorious Sanjak from the 1938 continuity, is feeding information to the Japanese and the beautiful Grett Murmer, secretary to a team of Chinese financial experts, is in deadly danger. Taffy Tucker, Colonel Corkin's romance interest, learns the secret of French pilot Capt. Midi and the result is a duel between P-40s. Terry then leaves China for India, where he runs into the notorious adventuress Burma. Burma is still on the run from the British authorities and Terry trails her to a remote kingdom whose police chief, Singh-Singh, is Pat Ryan's one-time opponent, as is Mrs Singh, née Cheery Blaze.
Episode 19 of this classic comic strip is another highly enjoyable adventure with superb plotting, amusing characterization, and excellent art. Milton Caniff, the most influential artist of the comic strip, is at the top of his form. Highly recommended!
