☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeG.I. Combat #34 is an anthology featuring multiple war stories. "Red Train to Doom" follows Allied soldiers attempting to destroy an enemy-controlled railroad line while contending with defensive fortifications and surprise counterattacks. "Heroes of the Sky" depicts a fighter pilot named Mitch who, after recovering in a hospital, joins a bombing run on a critical railroad target; despite early setbacks with failed rocket passes, the mission ultimately succeeds with the crew's determination. Additional stories titled "Firepower Assault," "End of a Coward," and others are listed on the cover but their full narratives are not visible in the provided pages.
Sergeant "Wild Bill" Walton and his battle-scarred M-4 tank Gertie form an unbreakable bond during the Korean War, until a massive new Soviet super-tank—the Glorious Comrade—crushes his beloved machine flat and kills most of his crew. When the monster machine becomes an impenetrable roadblock that stalls the entire UN advance through Rang-Jam Pass, Wild Bill devises a daring personal plan to even the score.
Private Jim Cregar has spent years running from his past—a circus acrobat whose failed stunt left him paralyzed by fear of heights, now a soldier trapped on a mountain with his unit during the Korean War. When enemy forces set dynamite to bring them down, Cregar discovers he may be the only one who can save his squad by walking a wire across a thousand-foot gorge, carrying each man to safety one at a time. Will facing his deepest terror be the thing that finally lets him escape it?
When American forces destroy a Red ammunition supply in Korea, they expect their follow-up patrol to claim an easy victory—but the Reds have a secret weapon: a supply train running through mountain tunnels that no air strike or artillery barrage can touch. Corporal Case, driven by the fate of his wounded buddy, volunteers for a one-man suicide mission to do what fighter pilots and gunners cannot, slipping deep into enemy territory to sabotage the rail line before dawn. With nothing but his wits, ranger training, and a handful of demolition blocks, he'll have to outthink a swarming enemy force in "Red Train to Doom."
PFC. Mitch Slocum thinks the Air Force has it easy while infantrymen like him slug it out in muddy foxholes—until a bomber pilot named Lieutenant Carter offers to show him exactly what a bombing run really entails. When Mitch joins the crew on a low-level mission against enemy fighters and flak, he gets a firsthand education in what it takes to fly and fight in the sky.
