One story depicts a pilot recounting aerial combat encounters with an enemy prince in a black forest, involving dogfighting in a biplane and hand-to-hand combat with a sword-wielding adversary. Another sequence shows soldiers in combat, dealing with enemy threats including snakes and grenades during jungle warfare, culminating in explosive action.
Captain Lorimer Shears is Korea's deadliest jet ace—but his reputation comes at a cost, as wingman after wingman falls in combat while he returns alone. When the hard-edged pilot is assigned a new partner, Lieutenant Ears Hogan, the young fighter discovers that flying on Shears's wing means being expendable, leading to a tense confrontation that will force the base commander to decide what kind of hero the war really needs.
During World War II, the French Resistance fights back against Nazi occupation through acts of sabotage and guerrilla warfare, destroying supply lines and striking at German leadership in occupied territories. When a plot to assassinate Hitler himself is set in motion, the underground operatives believe they've finally dealt a lethal blow to the Reich—but fate has other plans. This wartime tale captures the courage and sacrifice of those who refused to let tyranny have the final word.
A pilot recalls his dangerous history with Prince Lothar Mannstein—a brilliant but dangerously unstable flier whose madness only deepened as war consumed their nation—and must now deliver the news of the prince's death to the one person who loved him most: the Baroness who waited in her ancient castle, convinced her son would one day claim a throne. As the narrator recounts their fateful encounters, from a chance meeting in the Black Forest to their final, deadly clash in the skies, he discovers that some debts can never truly be settled. Pat Boyette weaves a haunting tale of ambition, obsession, and the terrible price of victory.
When American daylight bombing raids over Germany prove devastating to Allied air forces, the arrival of the long-range P-51 Mustang fighter in 1943 becomes the turning point the 8th Air Force desperately needs. This story chronicles the brutal air battles above Berlin and the technological edge that shifts the course of the war, as the nimble Mustangs protect the Flying Fortress bombers and challenge the Luftwaffe's deadly Focke-Wulf fighters for control of the skies.
A squad of soldiers from the First Air Cavalry Division finds itself separated from the platoon and pinned down by enemy forces in the Vietnamese jungle, forced to fight their way through waves of ambushes with only air support and their wits to survive. As they battle toward their objective, the men must coordinate with a Navy pilot overhead, dodge mortar fire, and push through hostile terrain while keeping their nerves intact. When they finally reconnect with their unit, they discover that staying alive in the stinking green hell means trusting your instincts—and your squad.
