☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Rescue Raider" follows Major Mike Shaw as he undertakes a dangerous naval mission during wartime. After parachuting into enemy waters, Shaw is rescued and reunites with fellow servicemen, only to discover an urgent military operation involving a downed American plane marked with German insignia. "Operation Decoy" depicts aerial combat over Korea, where American pilot Brad must locate and destroy an enemy balloon hoax while avoiding enemy fire, with the mission complicated by the hidden location of the gooks conducting the deception. A third story features Captain Daw returning from a routine mission to learn of a critical situation: one of his squadron pilots has been stranded in enemy territory with a high-ranking red officer, requiring an immediate rescue operation to prevent catastrophic intelligence leaks.
When Major Steve Batts is urgently summoned to rescue General Stillson from a Red prison camp deep in Korea, he finds himself leading a dangerous airborne assault that turns into a desperate fight for survival. After his jet is shot down during the operation, Batts must fight his way through enemy territory on foot to locate the General and fight toward an escape route through sheer guts and quick thinking. It's a brutal, close-quarters mission where every second counts and the odds are stacked against them.
Major Mike Shaw, an Army Air Force pilot, finds himself in hot water when his damaged plane forces him to ditch near a Navy carrier during the Korean War—and worse, he runs into his old rival Bill Turner aboard ship. When enemy planes launch a devastating surprise attack on the carrier, Shaw seizes the chance to prove the Air Force's mettle, commandeering a Navy fighter to take on wave after wave of incoming MiGs and torpedo bombers. His aerial heroics may just save the ship, but his landing skills prove to be another matter entirely.
B Squadron's night-fighter pilots have been outflown by the enemy—or so it seems until Major Brad Bullet suspects something fishy about the supply columns they've been destroying night after night. With the help of a helicopter pilot named Charley, Bullet uncovers an elaborate decoy scheme and discovers the real threat hiding in the skies above Korea. Now the squadron must adapt their tactics fast, or face being grounded in disgrace.
Captain Daw, a top American fighter pilot, volunteers for a daring plan to catch enemy planes red-handed at the peace talks at Panmunjom—by disguising his own aircraft with enemy markings to lure them into a trap. When the enemy takes the bait, Daw leads his squadron to turn the tables on the attackers, but a crucial miscommunication with Navy command leaves him in the crosshairs of friendly fire, forcing him to bail out over hostile territory.
