Angel Wings
Written by Yann. Art by Romain Hugault.
A wartime transport pilot must earn the trust of an escort squadron.
Overview
Yann and Hugault’s 2014 series follows Angela McCloud, a WASP pilot flying supply missions over the Himalayan Hump during the Burma campaign. Enemy aircraft and the demanding route make every delivery consequential.
Why It Matters
The series gives air war a logistical perspective: the unglamorous work of transporting supplies is as hazardous as the dogfights around it.
Genre & Themes
Historical aviation adventure combines combat, survival and the gendered barriers faced by a woman pilot.
Art & Visual Identity
Hugault’s detailed aircraft and expansive skies make the technical setting central to the storytelling.
