Fighting Leathernecks #3

Duke Beals and Quig Quigley spot a beautiful woman on a San Francisco street and scramble to track her down using a torn newspaper clipping she drops—but the want ad is incomplete, leaving them to puzzle out her identity through a wild chase across the city. When they finally call the number and reach her, they're in for a surprise about what kind of job she's actually offering.

When the Japanese launch a relentless air campaign against Wake Island just days after Pearl Harbor, Major James S.R. Devereux commands fewer than 400 Marines facing overwhelming odds—but they're ready to fight back. Through wave after wave of enemy attacks and devastating naval bombardment, these outnumbered defenders refuse to yield, scoring victories that prove American resolve runs deeper than enemy firepower.

Two Marines with more guts than brains—Corporal Marmaduke "Duke" Beals and PFC Patrick Michael Quigley—are tasked with sneaking behind enemy lines to capture a North Korean officer for interrogation. Convinced that the officers' mess is their best bet, the pair devise a bold plan that lands them face-to-face with a high-ranking target—but getting him back alive proves trickier than expected. This 1952 war story trades heavy drama for laughs as Duke and Quig barrel headlong into chaos, leaving destruction and confusion in their wake.
