An anthology featuring three air force tales: "First Mission" follows pilot Barnstorm Bentley, the youngest pilot to ever command a heavy bomber, as he arrives in Korea to lead an important first mission. "Operation Iceberg" depicts a UN pilot shot down in enemy territory who is rescued by Russians and later encounters his former antagonist, a red enemy pilot, leading to a dramatic aerial confrontation. "The Borrowed MiG" and "Bullet for a Traitor" round out the issue with additional combat narratives set during the Korean War era.

Contains 4 stories
Bullet for a Traitor
8 pp · War

Captain Tim Wilson's best buddy stands accused of sabotaging American aircraft over Korea, and Tim is ordered to watch him—only to discover the evidence mounting against his pal is hard to deny. When the accused man escapes with a stolen plane and heads toward enemy territory, Tim must pursue him into a confrontation that will test the bonds of friendship against duty and loyalty. "Bullet for a Traitor" explores the anguish of betrayal when the traitor wears your squadron's uniform.

Operation Iceberg
7 pp · War

Lieutenant Commander Skip Howard thinks his nerves are shot when a harrowing run over North Korea leaves him certain he's seen a battleship sailing through the clouds—until his malfunctioning compass and a glimpse of the truth convince him the enemy has hidden a real warship inside a hollowed iceberg. Determined to prove he's not suffering from combat fatigue, Skip flies a solo reconnaissance mission and launches a daring attack on the camouflaged vessel, facing skepticism from his own command even as the evidence mounts that his incredible discovery was real all along.

The "Borrowed" Mig
8 pp · War
First Mission
7 pp · War

Meet Barnstorm Bentley, a cocky young pilot with a stunt-flying pedigree who arrives in Korea as co-pilot on Colonel Sampson's bomber crew—much to the Colonel's dismay, given Barnstorm's history of reckless flying back in the States. When their first combat mission draws heavy flak and the crew takes casualties, Barnstorm must step up and prove whether his daredevil instincts have what it takes in actual warfare, or if they'll get everyone killed.
