Coward's Courage
7 pp · War

Lieutenant Pete Miller finds himself grounded from close support missions after a tragic friendly-fire incident in Korea—and his fellow pilots suspect him of cowardice. When the same trouble spot calls for air support again, Miller breaks orders to investigate, only to uncover an enemy deception that's been targeting American forces. His discovery transforms him from a pilot under suspicion into the hero who finally stops the scheme.

Radar Roulette

When Colonel Grant's airfield suffers devastating losses to radar-controlled flak, Mike McTeague—a sharp-thinking line chief who speaks Chinese—volunteers for an audacious solo mission behind enemy lines to uncover why the bomber runs keep missing their targets. Disguised and dropped into hostile territory, Mike must race against time to pinpoint the enemy's true radar positions before the next bombing wave arrives. It's a high-stakes gamble where one man's quick thinking could turn the tide of the air war.

Operation Panic

Major Brad Bullet of the C.I.C. is loaned to the Navy to solve a deadly mystery: enemy torpedoes are sinking American ships in Korean waters with no apparent source, until a severed hand found in wreckage suggests the unthinkable—the enemy is using human-piloted torpedoes. Bullet's reconnaissance uncovers an underwater base hidden in the cliffs, setting him on a dangerous underwater mission to locate and neutralize the threat before more ships are lost.

Mig Alley Dame
6 pp · War

Major Tod Frost and his squadron face off against a formidable female Communist pilot racking up victories over Korea—the propaganda broadcasts call her a hero, but the American flyboys know her as a deadly threat. When the colonel orders Frost to stop her at any cost, the major pursues her into a dogfight across Mig Alley that forces both pilots to the ground, where their battle takes an unexpected turn. This 1958 war story captures the tension of aerial combat meet the raw stakes of a confrontation neither side quite anticipated.
