The issue also features a Marines story titled "Mission of Revenge," in which Joe and Charley, two tough Gyenes, participate in a dangerous fire fight called Operation Egg-Beater during the Korean conflict.
A Thunderjet pilot on a bombing run over Korea keeps finding the same bridge mysteriously repaired overnight, no matter how thoroughly he destroys it—until a closer look reveals the enemy's ingenious deception and the real target hiding beneath the water. As he races to expose the trick before enemy reinforcements slip across, our pilot must decide how far he's willing to push his damaged plane to stop the Communists' clever gambit.
Ensign Peters is a hotshot rookie pilot with more ambition than skill, and his reckless flying earns him a harsh grounding after he disobeys orders and crashes his plane. When an emergency scramble calls all pilots to action and Peters discovers a fellow airman is hiding a heart condition to stay in the fight, he makes a desperate decision that will test whether a greenhorn can rise to the moment when it counts most.
When pilot Blaze Kennedy's wingman vanishes into a mysterious cloud over Korea, he discovers a deadly truth: the enemy has weaponized gas disguised as clouds themselves. Tasked with gathering proof and locating the source, Kennedy flies a perilous solo mission deep into hostile territory, armed only with carrier pigeons and his determination to uncover the secret behind his friend's death. What he finds will set the stage for a devastating strike against the Red forces—if he can survive long enough to make it home.
Two tough Marines, Joe and Charley, find themselves caught up in a desperate firefight when their helicopter unit is pressed into ground support during a Korean War operation to rescue a trapped company. As the pair drop grenades on enemy positions and fight to hold the line, they discover their commanding officer is far more than a desk jockey—and the real test of their mission is about to begin.
