Commando 5927 (Home of Heroes): Ramsey's Raiders: Kubel Raiders! 

Captain Jimmy Ramsey's Raiders are known for their fast hit-and-run tactics – going deep behind enemy lines, attacking their positions and blowing them to kingdom come before the Jerries even know what hit them! 

So, it's not surprising the Germans have decided to take the Raiders' methods for themselves – using desert Kubelwagens to launch their own devastating raids on the British. And the only ones who can stop them? Ramsey's Raiders, of course!

When Ron Holmes enlisted in the RAF, he didn't seem to be very different from the other recruits who wanted to be pilots. Yet all that changed once he started flying. Few could ever hope to match his superb skill.
