Don Winslow and his partner Red find themselves stranded in the South Pacific after their plane is shot down—only to discover their Navy-issue life jackets are filled with sawdust instead of proper flotation material. When they report back to Admiral Colby, the investigation leads them to the Wilson Life Belt Company, where a dangerous criminal known as the Renegade has orchestrated a deadly scheme to cut corners and pocket the profits, no matter the cost in lives. Don and Red race to expose the villain and shut down his operation before more servicemen fall victim to his sabotage.
Don Winslow and Red Pennington take on a dangerous mission to fly a heavily loaded gasoline transport through enemy-held territory to rescue General Yung's trapped forces in China—but the Japanese are waiting, and the skies aren't their only obstacle. With their escort fighters overwhelmed and a wall of fire blocking the route ahead, the two Coast Guard pilots must find a way through or watch the rescue fail. Don and Red improvise a bold plan to help the trapped soldiers escape while dealing with the enemy threat.
Eaglebeak Spruder confidently claims he can tie any knot—fancy or plain—as a Sea Scout, but when challenged to demonstrate an "if knot" while holding both rope ends, his cocky boasting quickly gives way to some painful knuckle-busting results. This lighthearted tale proves that sometimes the best education comes from a little hands-on humility.
When a native boy becomes the sole survivor of a Japanese attack on his village, Don Winslow volunteers for a dangerous mission to verify his story—and discovers a hidden enemy task force that could shift the course of the war. Stranded in the jungle after a crash landing, Winslow must trek fifty miles through monsoon rains and enemy patrols to reach an American bomber base and deliver the intelligence that could turn the tide. It's a race against nature and the Japanese army in "Overland Trek—a Marine Yarn."
