Midway: From the Pages of Combat #[nn]

In "The Battle of Midway," two brothers—Jeff Reed, flying a PBY Catalina, and Alan Reed, piloting a TBD Douglas Devastator—take to the skies over the Pacific in a desperate defense of Midway Atoll. As the fate of the war hangs in the balance, Jeff's search for survivors after the battle leads him to a moment that will define their lives.

In "Out of the Gate," Lt. Nesco uses his fluency in Romanian—learned from his parents—to slip past enemy guards, posing as a German-aligned officer in a desperate bid for freedom. With time and trust both thin on the ground, every step toward escape is a gamble built on language, deception, and the weight of a borrowed identity.
