I was not too interested in WWI biplanes and such, but Kubert's art was so compelling that I collected each issue with fervor. These years later, I'm a bit bored by the repetitive storylines, but any one story, by itself, is very readable (if you read the archives in one sitting, it's a bit much). Kubert's art, though, only got better and better as the series wore on.
Below, some sample pages out of context.

Wow ! That last cover is fabulous - number 138.
What I like so much about Kubert is how loose he was. I'll bet he was really cranking this work out - but he draws so well, it doesn't matter.
I always had a soft spot for Russ Heath as well.
Enemy Ace was definitely one of my favorite comic books. Granted that my sense of the character was informed by how Kubert depicted him; still Kubert's depiction seemed perfectly suited to the character.
I'm really not particularly enamored of Kubert's work more generally, but I cannot help but notice the great affection held for him by som many professional artists.
