"Un avion n’est pas rentré" (A Plane Failed to Return) was the thir-teenth album in the series first launched almost seventy years ago, on 2 January 1947, in Journal Spirou.Published in Spirou between March and August 1954, the story was brought out as an album by Éditions Dupuis that same year.Illustrators Hubinon and Charlier sent their naval heroes home on board the USS Valley Forge aircraft carrier. This page (B.302) shows Buck Danny with other young trainee recruits on board their Grumman F9F Panthers. The plane was designed to be mounted on an aircraft carrier and was actually in service throughout the Korean War, which had just ended with an armistice in July 1953.
