☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains at least two stories. "The Mad Missile" follows Lieutenant Austien, a young Air Force pilot whose flying skill and reflexes are the only hope to intercept and destroy a massive guided missile heading toward a large Midwestern city before it can kill a million people. "Powerhouse Gals" tells of Powerhouse Perkins, a former China hand with Oriental Airlines who becomes entangled in a scheme involving the Sultan of Swabogi and a downed airliner, ultimately leading to aerial combat where shadows in reconnaissance photographs may reveal a hidden installation.
Harry Hector washes out of pilot training in disgrace, reassigned to Korea as a mechanic—but a hypnotic trance transforms him into an unstoppable flying ace, single-handedly taking down MiGs, destroying enemy infrastructure, and sinking a battleship before his incredible luck runs out. This wild tale explores what a man under hypnosis might accomplish when freed from his own limitations, turning a washout's darkest moment into something neither he nor his commanding officers could have predicted.
Powerhouse Perkins takes what seems like easy money from the Sultan of Swabogi—a simple rescue mission into Communist China to retrieve the sultan's wife—but the job gets complicated when he discovers the "wife" is actually an entire harem of women hidden beneath voluminous robes. With his buddy Joe along for the ride, Powerhouse must fly an overloaded transport plane out of hostile territory while dodging Communist forces, crashing aircraft, and MiG fighters in a wild aerial escape.
Major Johnny Anger and his squadron face a cunning enemy in "Target Destroyed," when a surprise bombing raid devastates their base—only to discover the bombers came from a hidden installation the intelligence services didn't know existed. Racing against time and the enemy's deadly defenses, Anger and his wingman Slim must locate and destroy the real bomber base before the Reds can strike again, following a dangerous air trail that leads them to their most perilous target yet.
