From Booklist
As World War I retreats further into the past, good yarns about the Allies’ flying aces and their archenemy, the Red Baron, become increasingly rare. Fortunately, veteran Cartoon Network storyteller Denton and his collaborators have at least one more Great War story up their sleeves. When two intrepid fighter pilots—one Yank, one Brit—recover a map from the Red Baron’s crashed plane, they take an impromptu military leave and wing it over to the Scandinavian coast in search of hidden treasure. Instead of gold, however, the pair finds trouble in the form of enemy spies angling to recover the map. After a daring escape, a round of air battles, and a run-in with a court-martial tribunal, the flyboys are quickly drafted into a newly minted intelligence agency. Their ultimate mission, to discover the map’s real target (an underground cavern harboring an enigmatic time engine), gives the aces’ story an sf spin that may alienate some military buffs but should entertain every fan of action comics. --Carl Hays
