The credited designers of Commandoes in Flames are: Ross Thompson, Dave LeLacheur, and Andrew Rader. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.

The catalogue lists Commandoes in Flames as an expansion for World in Flames. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need World in Flames to use it. Check that your edition of World in Flames is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
