What a confusing Yankee Eagle story. The middies are in the house, then Jerry frees them, then they're locked up in a tree?
   By positronic1
(Page 13) -- What a disappointment. I was looking forward to seeing that map of Blackhawk Island (there was a tiny panel of it in issue #2 with not much room for detail). In this issue, if drawn to scale (and why would we assume otherwise? apart from the huge signposts, that is) there's barely enough room -- and it's debateable -- for a safe landing. The island shown HERE is only a bit larger than an aircraft carrier. The earlier smaller panel in #2 showing the island had several barracks buildings (retractable by lowering into the ground), an entire harbor filled with a private navy, and even a huge (again retractable, as well as pivoting) zeppelin shed, in addition to at least half a dozen ack-ack gun emplacements. Obviously back in issue #2, they were envisioning a much more elaborate and realistic-type Blackhawks operation, with various support staff, backup pilots, and the whole magilla. In addition to the mysterious Boris and Zeg, as well as the mentioned-but-not-seen (as far as we knew) Vladim, this was before Chuck and Chop Chop had even made their appearance, yet when Blackhawk introduces his pilots, he mentions that "These are *some* of my men ... you'll meet the others later ..."

That Yankee Eagle story has got more problems, like, Jerry steals a half dozen grenades from a squad car, and hands them off to Sam, the Eagle. Do Annapolis cops carry around poorly-guarded supplies of grenades? Apparently so. Can Sam pull the pins of live grenades and use them to kill fleeing felons? Apparently so.
