U.S. Fighting Air Force #13

A Thunderjet pilot on a bombing run over Korea keeps encountering the same bridge in the Chunju area—one that mysteriously repairs itself overnight, no matter how thoroughly he destroys it. Determined to solve the puzzle, he makes a low-level pass and discovers the truth: a wooden decoy, rebuilt nightly while the enemy uses a hidden underwater crossing to move reinforcements across the river. Now that the secret's out, he and his squadron race to neutralize the real threat before enemy forces can slip away.

Ensign Peters is a brash young pilot with more nerve than finesse, and when he disobeys orders to pursue what he believes is an easy kill, his reckless flying gets him grounded—but an emergency scramble and a fellow pilot's heart trouble give him a chance to prove himself in the skies over Korea. Peters's second chance turns into a brutal test of survival when his damaged plane loses its landing gear, forcing him to make an impossible choice between crashing on the carrier or ditching in the sea.

When mysterious deaths begin claiming American pilots over Korea, Colonel Blaze Kennedy witnesses his wingman Mack vanish into a strange cloud—only to plummet from the sky. Ordered on a dangerous reconnaissance mission, Kennedy carries an unconventional payload to uncover the enemy's deadly secret weapon. As he fights his way back with proof of a lethal gas plot, Kennedy joins a massive strike force to destroy the source before more men fall to the hidden killer in the skies.

Two tough Marines, Joe and Charley, get pulled from a quiet moment behind the lines in Korea to help rescue K Company from a brutal firefight with an enemy machine-gun nest—a chaotic mission that tests their grit and forces them to see their commanding general in a whole new light. When the operation turns desperate and the wounded need saving, these gyrenes discover that real leadership isn't about rank, it's about standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your men.
