☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two war stories. "The Last Battle" follows a USAF pilot named Igor who is shot down and captured by enemy forces; when his government refuses to negotiate for his release, he is held as a prisoner of war. The second story, featuring Captain C.L. Smythe and the Golden Dragons, depicts an American squadron of P-47 Thunderbolts engaged in combat against German ME-109 fighters during World War II, with Captain Smythe ultimately rescuing an injured fellow pilot and bringing him safely back to base.
When Russian pilot Igor Padovich arrives in Korea to train Chinese Communist fighters, his false claims of aerial victories bolster enemy morale—until U.S. Air Force captain Dud Bolton intercepts gun-camera footage proving the boasts are lies. Bolton's daring low-level run to deliver the incriminating films to the enemy airfield forces Igor's hand, leading to a tense confrontation above the Yalu River that will test whether the "great" pilot's reputation can survive the truth.
When Nazi-built Messerschmitt 110s—the dreaded "Golden Dragons"—devastate Major Mike Allen's P-40 squadron, the major captures one of the enemy fighters and hatches a desperate plan to turn the tables on the elite Japanese bomber force. Flying the stolen Me 110 itself, Allen and Sergeant Ted Matsek prepare to infiltrate the next wave of Dragons and strike back from within their own formation.
An RAF pilot officer turned American liaison captain, Charles Smythe confronts the Nazi pilot Hans Honach—the very same German ace he'd shot down over England years before—in a high-stakes dogfight over the North African desert. With their personal rivalry hanging in the balance and enemy fighters closing in, these two skilled pilots lock into a duel that decides more than just a single mission. A gripping rematch between two aces testing themselves and their nations' fight.
