Missing in Action (comic story)

Missing in Action was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.
== Summary ==
In the skies of the planet Clahow, the native bird-people are fighting off a mysterious warship with the help of Georges Guynemer and his First World War fighter plane. Word reaches Georges that a prisoner transport of bird-people and humans has been captured. Georges is introduced to the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams.
Georges explains how he was fleeing Germans by climbing higher in his plane above Belgium when he suddenly found himself amongst French-speaking birds whose song can be more destructive than a cannon — if they choose. He joined sides with the birds to fight off their enemy, a huge warship that had also appeared in the skies.
The Doctor explains that both crafts must have come through a space-time rift. The warship is a rogue Rezyar robot warship (which the Doctor has been trying to de-activate for days) and the birds are using some sort of universal translator. Back safely at the bird-people's home, the Doctor replaces Georges' bullets with disruptor pellets. Taking to the skies with Georges and wearing special goggles, the fighter plane draws the warship towards the space-time rift. Firing the disruptor pellets into the rift and moving swiftly aside the warship is drawn into the expanding rift, unable to escape. The rift is unstable and closes itself trapping the warship in the void.
The Doctor offers to take Georges home. Georges is torn between his duty to France and his exciting new life on Clahow. The Doctor assures him that France wins the war and he has done more than his duty. Georges decides to stay.
