Pilot participating in raid and a rescue (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dan dare

'pilot' is the definition.
(comic book pilot)

'participating in raid and a rescue' is the wordplay.
'participating in' indicates a hidden word.
'DAN DARE' is hidden in the letters of 'raid and a rescue'.

(Other definitions for dan dare that I've seen before include "action hero" , "Comic book space hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
