The lead story, "The Black Commander," follows a pilot character engaged in aerial combat and dogfighting sequences. Another featured story involves Tex, a pilot who performs dangerous aerial maneuvers at high altitude while being pursued by enemy aircraft, eventually making a parachute landing and encountering ground-based military action. A third story depicts Tim's parachute battalion dropping on a German airport (the Ruhr) with full battle arms, engaging Nazi forces in combat as Army Air Corps and RAF forces hammer Nazi positions to prevent them from recapturing the airfield. The issue also includes a story involving a test pilot evaluating a new mystery ship at an airfield, with espionage elements involving foreign agents attempting sabotage at a shipyard facility.
When four test pilots die mysteriously while flying the new Plummet dive-bomber, McBride's aircraft company faces cancellation of its military contract—until a brash, unconventional pilot named Tex Trainor arrives ready to take on the deadly assignment. As Tex pushes the plane to 20,000 feet, he discovers the crashes are no accident: sabotage is at work, and someone aboard another plane is determined to stop him. With nerves of steel and quick thinking, Tex must survive the murderous skies and uncover who's behind the conspiracy before the Plummet program is lost forever.
Crash Davis, ace of the Navy Air Corps, launches from a mid-Atlantic convoy on a reconnaissance flight—only to spot Nazi warships heading straight for the American fleet. When his radio fails and his plane is shot down, Crash is plucked from the ocean and brought aboard a German battleship, where a Nazi commander hatches a brutal plan to use him as a pawn. Forced into a Nazi fighter plane with the enemy air armada, Crash must find a way to turn the tables and warn his own ship before it's too late.
Lieutenant Bob White, Sergeant Tim Casey, and Private Joe Smith are three American servicemen caught up in a speculative vision of aerial warfare over Nazi-occupied Europe. When the United States enters the conflict, these soldiers find themselves at the forefront of a revolutionary new strategy: using massed air power, paratroopers, and coordinated ground forces to strike deep into German territory and capture vital industrial centers. This 1941 story showcases the emerging doctrine of America's air-focused military might and the soldiers who would carry it out.
When Hudson bombers disappear en route to England, The Mosquito—the ex-flier Steve Stanton working for G-2—takes to the skies to uncover a sabotage ring operating from the California desert. With his specially armed P-40 and sharp detective work, he traces a radio transmitter hidden in the hills and must stop a coordinated Nazi attack before it can strike. The trail leads back to someone closer than expected, setting up a final confrontation that will expose a traitor in the ranks.
When a mysterious new superplane arrives at Clark Field for testing, junior mechanic "Mach" Duff's old pal Power Dive Grant is tapped as the test pilot—but a sinister plot involving foreign agents, kidnapping, and a duplicate aircraft threatens to destroy both the plane and its designer's family. Racing against time and saboteurs, Mach must uncover the truth behind the "double trouble" and prevent disaster in the skies.
Captain Logan Black commands the toughest squadron in the RAF—a group of reckless veterans who respect only him—but when Nazi glider bombers strike, one pilot, Gunner Wilson, pursues them solo and vanishes. Facing desertion charges and a crucial new mission to intercept another bomber raid, Black must lead his men into battle while wrestling with doubt about his most wild, unpredictable flier. What unfolds is a high-stakes aerial battle that tests the Black Sheep Squadron like never before.
