Fightin' Air Force #27

Lt. Buzz Dandridge has chased flying saucers since childhood, and when he spots them again while piloting an F-104A, he can't resist disobeying orders to pursue them into forbidden airspace. His reckless pursuit leads him to a secret Air Force base—and a stunning discovery that turns his lifelong obsession into something far bigger than he imagined.

Lt. Pat Burnham talks a big game as a fighter pilot, but when bullets start flying, he runs—leaving his flight leader, Capt. Al Misinic, to cover for him time and again until Al is shot up and nearly killed. Facing the hatred of his fellow pilots and abandoned by everyone, Burnham discovers he has one last chance to prove himself when the Luftwaffe attacks, and this time he won't look away. Watch as a coward finds out what he's really made of when it matters most.

Captain Mike Machek pilots his B-29 on a low, dangerous bombing run to support U.S. Marines in Korea, but enemy fire cripples the big bomber and forces a crash landing behind hostile lines. With his crew stranded and surrounded by Communist forces, Machek and his men must hold their ground using salvaged aircraft guns while waiting for reinforcements—drawing support from Marine units, P-51 Mustangs, and F-86 jets in a desperate fight for survival.

Lt. Ben Hubbard's routine flight from England to Turkey takes a dangerous turn when he strays too close to the Russian border and finds himself under fire from two Soviet fighters. After a furious dogfight, Hubbard manages to damage the bandits, but his own F-101A Voodoo sustains critical damage and he's forced to crash-land near enemy territory. Now stranded with hostile patrols closing in and a salvage team racing to reach him, Hubbard must navigate a harrowing gauntlet to make it back to base alive.
