☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Captain Jet #5 The issue contains two stories: "Shark Killer," in which Captain Jet, the Air Force's Flaming Ace of the Korean skies, is cast in the dangerous role of "Shark Killer" when the Communists attempt a sneak attack using tiny "shark" submarines, leading to naval combat and Jet's bomb run on enemy vessels; and a second story involving American pilots defending against enemy suicide planes and developing new combat techniques to counter Japanese-style kamikaze tactics, with Red Army forces launching coordinated aerial and ground attacks that American forces must overcome.
Captain Jet discovers that enemy MiGs are launching raids deep behind UN lines from an impossible distance—until he stumbles upon their secret: a hidden airfield concealed in cloud-covered Vulture Valley. When he's shot down investigating, Captain Jet must fight his way out of enemy hands and commandeer a MiG to escape, hoping the intelligence he's gathered will help end the threat once and for all.
Captain Jet and his Air Force squadron are scrambled to stop a fleet of small Communist submarines—"shark subs"—that have been sinking Allied ships off the Korean coast. When the underwater killers strike again, Jet finds himself in a desperate fight that takes him from the skies to the sea itself, where he'll have to use every trick in his arsenal to stop the enemy's deadliest weapon.
Captain Jet faces a harrowing day when his bombing run goes wrong—his plane damaged by his own blast, he's forced to bail out over enemy territory and into icy waters. With enemy patrols closing in and hypothermia setting in, a rescue helicopter races against time to pluck him from the sea, only to face a new threat from a MIG fighter determined to finish the job. It's a tense tale of survival against all odds, where even rescue doesn't mean Jet's ordeal is over.
During the Korean War, Captain Jet and his squadron face a terrifying new enemy tactic: fanatical pilots flying explosive-laden planes in suicide attacks, the very "flying corpses" that claim four American aircraft. Drawing on instinct and quick thinking, Captain Jet devises a desperate strategy to stop the kamikaze assault before it reaches the ground troops below. It's a high-stakes aerial battle where split-second decisions and nerve are the only weapons against an enemy willing to die for their cause.
