Lord Dark Wind in DD #197-198

I own DD #196 and 199, but not #197-198. Do either of those issues have a flashback that shows Lord Dark Wind's failed Kamikaze attempt on an American aircraft carrier in WWII?

I know that he mentions it in DD #199, and Lady Deathstrike flashes back to it in Alpha Flight #34 -- but I'm trying to figure out if we've ever seen it on-panel before that Alpha issue.

Thanks!

Thanks! Can you detail out the events of the FB? Is it just the moment of the crash, or anything before/after? Do we see Dark Wind's face? His silhouette? Just his plane? Do we see any US soldiers on the aircraft carrier?

I don't have the comic book available right now anymore, the joy of having his collection split in two places. Out of memory, it's just a view from a distance of an US aircraft carrier, with Dark Wind's plane crashing on it but not exploding. No soldiers are seen

As Yuriko speaks, the panel behind her shows a plane crashing into another plane on the deck of an aircraft carier. She explains how Darkwind survived and the bombs he was carring did not go off during a kamikazi attack. Though I count (20:5). You don't see Darkwind, just silhouetted planes.

I counted (20:5) for Yuriko speaking in the present and (20:6) for the FB in the past

Its the same panel. I think deciphering a panel your way could lead to confusion, but thats just me.
