G.I. Joe #10

A young farmboy soldier named Hoosier discovers an abandoned Korean farm while his squad takes shelter, and feels moved to plant and tend a crop despite the ongoing war—but when a massive enemy offensive forces a brutal retreat, he's left wounded and separated from his unit. As his squad fights to defend the farm as an unspoken memorial to their fallen comrade, fate intervenes in ways neither they nor the Korean family who finds Hoosier could have predicted.

When Baker Company secures a battered Korean airfield, they get an eyeful of Air Force operations—and a healthy dose of inter-service ribbing—until a reconnaissance pilot known as "the Eagle" arrives in a modest Piper Cub. When Lieutenant Bensinger takes two infantrymen on a dangerous scout mission over enemy territory, they find themselves outgunned by a MIG fighter and racing against the clock to bring their wounded pilot home. With Bensinger bleeding out and no trained pilot at the controls, the men on the ground must talk the crippled little plane down through a harrowing landing.

When a soldier in Baker Company decides to sew a Confederate battle flag to rally his unit up a heavily fortified Korean hill, he gets separated from his squad and captured by enemy forces—but his impromptu tale of a still-independent South proves more persuasive than he bargained for. Now "Betsy Ross" must convince an intrigued colonel and his men that the rebel cause he's invented is worth switching sides, all while his real company closes in to retake the position.

During World War I, the Atlantic campaign against German U-boats became a high-stakes game of technological innovation as each side devised increasingly clever countermeasures to outthink the other. From acoustical torpedoes and confusing decoys to radar balloons and sonar-jamming techniques, the battle beneath the waves showcased the ingenuity—and sometimes the desperation—of both the Germans and the Allies. This story catalogs the remarkable tactics that defined one of the war's most dangerous theaters.

When Private Russell reconnects with the First Lieutenant Harriet Lester—a nurse he met and fell for during her civilian days—he's heartbroken to learn she's involved with the Colonel, forcing him to bury his feelings and focus on the war effort. But when danger and valor change the stakes, both Russell and Lester must confront what their hearts truly want, even if Army regulations stand in the way. This 1952 war story explores how personal desire and military duty collide when love refuses to stay buried.

When a mail truck arrives at Baker Company's Korean outpost bearing long-awaited Christmas packages, the men's joy is bittersweet—not everyone receives a gift, and some of the presents seem hilariously useless. But when a wounded Marine stumbles into their lines with news of a trapped battalion, one soldier's "silly-looking" Christmas present becomes the unlikely key to a daring rescue mission. As the men of Baker Company race against time and enemy fire, they'll discover that the most valuable gifts sometimes come wrapped in the most unexpected ways.
