Jet Aces #3

Colonel Catbird Smith commands a Korean airbase where old-school flying meets the jet age, but tradition clashes dangerously with progress when his own son, Major Bertram Smith, arrives as a hotshot pilot of the new supersonic generation. When enemy mine-layers threaten Allied waters and the Colonel's outdated tactics prove costly, father and son must find a way to work together—or watch their comrades fall to MiGs and enemy fire.

Lt. Jim Kelly and Fighter Squadron B scramble to support an infantry assault on Hill 103, only to encounter the notorious Red Women's Squadron—a cunning enemy unit that uses disguise and deception as weapons. When Kelly is shot down and captures what he believes to be a female pilot, he discovers the Reds' trick, and the squadron must outthink their tricky adversaries in a second engagement to finally secure the objective. It's a tale of Cold War aerial combat where brains prove as vital as firepower.

When an Army investigator arrives at Squadron Commander Walt Clayton's base hunting a deserter wanted for cowardice, the fugitive—a pilot named Wilson—makes a desperate escape in a stolen fighter plane, forcing Clayton himself into pursuit. What unfolds is a harrowing chase across enemy territory that will test everything Clayton believes about his fellow pilot, culminating in a firefight deep behind enemy lines where cowardice and courage prove far more complicated than a court-martial docket suggests. "The Coward" is a taut 1952 war story that turns assumptions inside out.

When a mysterious report of enemy ship movements reaches UN Intelligence in Korea, pilots Ross and Marty launch a reconnaissance flight over coastal waters—only to be ambushed by MiG fighters and forced into a desperate dogfight. After Marty's crippled aircraft goes down, Ross believes his long-time partner is lost, until a radio transmission reveals Marty survived the crash and has discovered the hidden Red task force obscured by enemy smoke screens. Now Ross and the full squadron must race to strike the target before the enemy discovers Marty's position and silences him forever.
