In "Red Knight!", a lone German pilot known as Baron von Richthofen meticulously records each of his aerial victories, his tally climbing to 80. One fateful day, after a fierce dogfight, his plane begins its slow descent, drifting down through the sky like a ghost. When Allied soldiers finally reach the wreckage, they find the baron still at his controls—silent, still, and dead.

In "Washington!", General Washington stands defiant on Manhattan Island in September 1776, his outnumbered troops battered by British cannonfire from the sea. As desertion spreads and hope fades, the general’s desperate plea to hold the line falls on weary ears—yet even as his army retreats, the fight for independence is far from over.

In "Fire Mission!", a young new recruit to a mortar crew during the Korean War grows restless amid the constant rifle fire surrounding their position.
