I first heard about Buck Danny couple of months back when I read Tango and Laverdure comics. I truly like T&L, reality of every day life for the pilots, very real-life presentation of planes and what it takes to have elite squadron up and ready for fight.

So I decided to give a chance to Buck Danny and I can only say - what a revelation!

Similar to T&L, authors try to keep things realistic. In here Buck and his friends are always in danger, fighter planes while highly maneuverable are not untouchable and there is attrition from being engaged by the opposition planes and air defense. When engaged with multiple fighter planes no matter the type situation is not an easy one and numbers prevail in more situations than they not. People die and that is the cost of being military fighter pilot during the war-time (although even peace time can be deadly - standard issues like engine catching fire etc can also end in pilot's death.

Visuals of planes, procedures, story itself ... I can only say it is excellent.

Highly recommended to all fans of Tanguy and Laverdure and in general [military] aviation.… (plus d'informations)
