☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCaptain Steve Savage encounters a Chinese chieftain named Kwang in Shuangcheng, where he is enlisted to help defend the village against Communist invaders. After an ambush using high-octane gas forces Kwang's men to scatter, Steve leads a counterattack and helps coordinate a defense strategy with the local forces. The story shifts to concurrent military action involving Lieutenant Dave Martin piloting rocket-fitted Banshee aircraft and U.S. Marines moving toward Inchon to combat Russian tanks and North Korean forces during the Korean War conflict.
Captain Steve Savage and his radar operator, Sergeant Logan, fly combat cover for a night bombing raid on a North Korean target—but a vicious storm separates them from their squadron and leaves them critically low on fuel. Outnumbered by enemy jets and with nowhere to land in friendly territory, Steve makes a desperate choice: destroy his advanced new fighter rather than let it fall into Communist hands, forcing both men to bail out into hostile Manchuria.
After a crash-landing in Manchuria, Captain Steve Savage and Jazz Logan find themselves thrown in with Kwang the Strong and his tribal warriors—a fierce people locked in guerrilla combat against Communist forces with nothing but horses, swords, and outdated weapons. When Kwang learns of a nearby enemy air base, he sees an opportunity that could help the Americans return to their own lines, but first they'll witness firsthand the raw fighting spirit of the Shuangcheng as they strike hard and vanish into the mountains.
Captain Steve Savage and his navigator Jazz Logan team up with the fierce raider Kwang to strike a coordinated assault on an enemy airfield—while Kwang's forces attack from the ground, Steve and Logan infiltrate by jet to rain destruction on the parked aircraft. After a harrowing escape and crash-landing back at their own base in a captured enemy fighter, the two pilots return with tales of one of their most daring missions yet.
Lt. Dave Martin leads a squadron of rocket-firing Banshees in a desperate mission to stop a massive Soviet tank column advancing on Inchon during the Korean War—a strike that could mean the difference between a successful invasion and disaster for UN forces. With Russian armor threatening to crush the beachhead and potentially draw Red China into the conflict, Martin and his fellow Marine pilots must deliver a devastating aerial assault to clear the way for ground troops pushing toward Seoul. It's a high-stakes race against time where precision flying and firepower become the only defense against overwhelming armored might.
