This anthology issue contains three stories: "Across the Lines" follows Pok Choy, a Korean-American who joins the U.S. Air Force and fights for his adopted country during the Korean War despite the hardships he faces. "Heroes Never Die" depicts Major Johnny Anger and his flying dragons conducting a crucial air offensive in Indo-China, where they play a critical role as "red killers" against enemy forces, rescuing a French pilot named Tubby.

Operation Kidnap
8 pp · War

Two bored jet pilots itching for action get exactly what they asked for when their commanding officer sends Lieutenants Steve Fisher and Charlie Hodge on a dangerous night mission over China—a mission that quickly goes sideways. After their planned rendezvous falls apart in a hail of flak, the pair decides to finish the job themselves, sneaking into an enemy city to extract their target, Doctor Wu Fei, by any means necessary. With Chinese patrols closing in and enemy fighters on their tail, Fisher and Hodge will need equal parts cunning and marksmanship to fly out of this one alive.

Across the Lines
7 pp · War

A Korean-American airman joins the Air Force to defend his homeland when war erupts, but after his spotter plane is shot down behind enemy lines, he discovers an unexpected ally—a childhood friend now working in the underground—who helps him navigate a treacherous escape across occupied territory. With enemy forces closing in and the odds stacked against them, Pok and his rescuer must rely on quick thinking and each other's courage to make it back to friendly lines.

Heroes Never Die
8 pp · War

Major Johnny Anger and his Flying Dragons undertake a dangerous close-support mission over Indo-China, flying cover for a massive French offensive while dogfighting enemy MiGs and strafing ground positions. When one of the Dragons is shot down deep in hostile territory, Anger must navigate the treacherous jungle to help his downed comrade survive long enough to find their way to safety. It's a raw test of nerve and survival instinct as the two flyers face enemy pursuit, the unforgiving jungle itself, and the question of whether they can make it out alive.

Sky Pioneer
7 pp · War

Captain Tom Baldwin's relentless drive to build a steerable airship takes flight when the ambitious former circus performer and balloon pioneer tracks down a young motor designer named Glenn H. Curtiss in 1903—determined to turn his decades-long vision into reality. Together, Baldwin and Curtiss wrestle with the engineering challenges of powering an airship, testing prototypes and troubleshooting setbacks as they race to perfect a motor that won't overheat. This is the story of how two men's imagination and grit pushed aviation forward in America's earliest days of powered flight.
