☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains at least two stories. The first story depicts a jet pilot who is rammed by a MiG while flying over Communist territory, forcing him to eject and be rescued by a U.S. Air Force helicopter; a general later commends him and his fellow pilots for their teamwork in the effort. The second story, titled "The Longest War," describes B-58 Hustler supersonic bombers carrying nuclear weapons stationed over the polar ice cap to deter Soviet attack, illustrating the Cold War arms race and the constant threat of mutual destruction between superpowers. A third story involves Allied soldiers discovering and fighting Nazi forces in an underground bunker system, with soldiers encountering mines and explosive booby traps as they work to eliminate the hidden enemy position.
Captain Adam Garner's 47th bombing run over North Vietnam becomes a desperate sacrifice when enemy MiG-21s threaten the refueling tanker his flight depends on—forcing Garner to make an agonizing choice to protect his squadron. What unfolds is a full-scale aerial rescue operation coordinated across multiple branches of the military, as fighter jets, transport planes, and ground teams converge on the jungle to bring him home. This is high-stakes Cold War action where courage and strategy collide in the skies and earth of Southeast Asia.
A tank repair depot mechanic stuck behind the lines during a German counter-attack discovers that his years of keeping damaged tanks running has prepared him for something far more immediate—defending the depot itself. When a wounded combat engineer reveals that destroying the nearby Belle Grande Bridge is crucial to trapping an entire Panzer division, the grease monkey and his buddy must coax a disabled tank back to life and make a desperate run across the river to finish the job before enemy reinforcements arrive.
Across the polar ice cap and the divided world, American and Soviet bombers maintain constant nuclear readiness, while submarines, missiles, and fighter squadrons stand perpetually locked in a tense standoff. This is the Cold War—a grinding conflict where casualties remain low but the staggering cost of weapons and the ever-present threat of escalation drain both superpowers and haunt millions who live in fear of the day the tension turns hot.
A First Lieutenant leads his platoon up Monte Nausse in December 1944, securing what appears to be an easy victory against a seemingly exhausted enemy—but subtle signs suggest the Germans have orchestrated an elaborate trap beneath the hill. When the Lieutenant discovers hidden cables and a disguised enemy soldier among his own men, he realizes his entire battalion is in mortal danger and must move fast to turn the tables before the carefully laid ambush is sprung.
