Fightin' Air Force #46

"Pigeon" follows a routine flight that goes awry when a USAF pilot is set up as a decoy and shot down over unfriendly territory. Based in England with the 8th Air Force, the pilot and his gunner conduct precision raids on Nazi Germany before the pilot is captured. The story concludes with the pilot meeting a general who had planned the operation, revealing the mission's deceptive nature. A second story features pilot Janicek, who is ordered to retrieve a saboteur named Lee from a F-104C aircraft; after disconnecting the firing button as instructed, Janicek pursues Lee across the border into East Germany, engaging in an aerial dogfight that results in both planes being shot down.
