An anthology of war stories featuring a pilot ordered to fly a secret experimental plane into enemy territory with instructions to destroy it if captured, who remembers his orders as the expendable craft heads toward Soviet forces; and a National Guard major who joins the military and undergoes training before the unit is activated for combat in Korea, where they encounter enemy forces and engage in battle until American artillery support arrives. The issue depicts both the aerial and ground combat aspects of Cold War-era military operations.
