The series premiered in
1956. Stopped during the 1970s, but was revived
shortly in 2006.
The all dominating
character is the British Royal Air Force Wing
Commander Robert 'Battler' Hereward Britton, who
fights the Axis powers in Europe, Africa, and
Asia during World War 2. Britton's missions take
place either in numerous Spitfire fighter planes,
from where he usually emerges as the winner of
the dogfights, or on ground in perilous enemy
territory, from where he fights to return to
England.
The series was published in a small
format measuring 105x148mms (A6), which is
normally referred to as Small Press Comic
(British English) and Minicomic (American
English).
