☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSparkling Stars #5 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. "Magic Tricks for Young & Old" by Harry Lazarus stars Professor Presto and his assistant Stoogie performing tricks, including an ill wind that blows out a match and an unbreakable cigarette. Another story follows a young man named Peter who is sent by Allied forces to France during World War II but is captured by Nazi secret police; imprisoned in a camp, he attempts a daring escape by crawling through the barracks to reach the alarm wires and regain his freedom.
When the Hell's Angels bombing trio—Gil, Clem, and Lank—are shot down over Japan and forced to bail out, they land in a military prison in Tokyo where they meet Scotty McGregor, a stubborn Scottish soldier who's been a captive for six weeks and is sitting on secret military plans the Japanese desperately want. As the airmen and the defiant Highlander plot their escape, they'll have to rely on quick thinking and sheer nerve to survive interrogation, outwit their captors, and make a desperate bid for freedom. It's a wartime tale of resourcefulness and courage that shows why these "Ladies from Hell" earned their fearsome reputation.
Peter Havlik, a young Czechoslovak caught up in the underground resistance, witnesses his brother's murder at the hands of a Nazi officer and vows to join the fight against the invaders. After sabotaging a German munitions train and narrowly escaping a French prison camp through ingenuity and determination, Peter finally reaches England to train as a pilot in the R.A.F. alongside his fellow countrymen, ready to strike back at the enemy from the skies.
