☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains stories about U.S. Air Force personnel and operations. One story follows airmen at Formosa and Perkins Oriental Airlines dealing with a damaged hoist and supply issues. "Operation Revenge" depicts Captain Johnny Anger leading a mission over Indo-China to retaliate against enemy forces after a previous loss, featuring experimental aircraft in combat. "Doolittle Takes Command" chronicles General James Doolittle's early life from his birth in Alameda, California through his rise to prominence as a fighter pilot and air cadet instructor, culminating in his honored position as a decorated officer.
In "Fighting Mad," Lieutenant Stan Walker reports for duty in Korea, only to be shot down behind enemy lines—where he stumbles upon a hidden network of planes buried deep in the demilitarized zone. The discovery puts him at odds with both enemy forces and the rules of war, forcing him to decide how far he'll go to keep the skies safe.
Powerhouse Perkins, a battered airline operator in the Orient with a taste for combat and a bigger taste for food, takes on what promises to be a lucrative rescue job: retrieving allies from a fishing village held by Communist forces. What he discovers there sets off a dangerous chain of events that tests both his wits and his unexpected capacity for mercy.
Captain Johnny Anger returns early from stateside furlough to rejoin his Flying Dragons squadron in Indo-China, only to find himself assigned to a dangerous mission: retrieve a jewel-encrusted idol from an ancient temple deep in enemy territory, with French intelligence agent Li Ko as his guide and the Reds closing in fast. As Johnny and his fellow pilot Skeeter race against time to extract the rubies and escape, they'll discover that some temples guard more than just treasure—and death waits in forms both expected and ancient.
