Short /annotation:
Tumb, Sonny and their fearless, all-American hero leader Buck Danny, USAF, have flown every kind of plane there’s been since WWII in the defence of freedom and the USA. The 10th volume of a legendary series that no aviation lover can afford to miss!

:
Despite the assistance of Japanese Counter Intelligence Agent Suki Nishiwa, Buck and his friends were unable to gather solid proof of tycoon Yamasaki and Lady X’s plans to trigger a war between China and the United States. The only option they have now is to intercept the stealth jets during their attack run on the Chinese carrier – and theirs. But with Lady X flying the Spectres, and a typhoon coming, can they do it?

Biographical note:
A former pilot in the French Navy, Frédéric Zumbiehl has since turned to writing. He wrote the scripts of several military adventure series, always insisting on hyper-realism, such as Team Rafale or Unité Félin. He was picked to replace Francis Bergèse at the helm of Buck Danny. Gil Formosa began working in comics at 18, as Morris’s assistant on the Lucky Luke cartoons, before making a name for himself as an illustrator of posters and covers, interspersed with several comic series.
