Story Featuring The Haunted Tank
Jeb and his crew must solve the mystery of what happened to the tank crew of the tank named Marie Celeste, which suffered a fate similar to the original Marie Celeste, a ship found abandoned in the ocean.
Story follows directly from The Brave and the Bold (DC, 1955 series) #52 (February-March 1964), wherein Jeb Stuart was promoted from sergeant to lieutenant. Story in two parts of 5.6 pages and 8.6 pages. Jeb refers to their tank as the Haunted Tank for the first time.
The new "Sparrow" assigned to the Mustang plane squadron gets #777, the plane that always takes a beating but fulfills the mission. Except the plane gets credit for the kills on the board, not the pilot. The pilot attacks tanks, blows bridges, rams two planes, and ejects - and the plane still sinks a killer battleship. But the next day he's assigned the new #777, "the legend of the plane that wouldn't die", and off he flies again.
