Enemy Ace: War in Heaven

    (DC, 2001)
™ and ©2001 DC Comics

World War One fighter ace Baron Hans Von Hammer is called from his family’s ancestral castle to once again take up the cause of the Fatherland. He returns to the skies and once again is taking out the enemies of Germany, this time over the skies of the Russian front. Yet even in the heat of battle, he still muses on the uselessness of not only this war, but of most wars in general. He battles on against valiant foes in the air and back stabbing fellow officers on the ground. But can even an older and wiser “Hammer of Hell” stand up to the madness of war and the mentality of the Third Reich?

Von Hammer first appeared in Our Army At War #151, continued on in Showcase #57 and #58, then carried a successful run in Star-Spangled War Stories (#138-161).
