Since his mission to Asia put him there a couple week before his unit was due to arrive, Hazard was asked to join a P-51 group already there. That unit's assignment was to slow down a Japanese advance which calls for day and night missions. Despite their best efforts, the enemy forces the base to be evacuated off all non-essentials, which includes Brandy recovering from her wound in the previous arc. On the flight out, Brandy's plane is show down and she is one of the few survivors, her and a small baby whose mother was killed. What will ensue is a battle between Brandy and a Japanese colonel and the same colonel and Johnny Hazard. Not to mention a sub-mission given Hazard to find a hidden Japanese airbase.
