War Heroes #6

Flash Jordan, a former stunt driver turned sabre jet pilot, learns the hard way that recklessness in combat gets you grounded—and shot down. When he's rescued by Korean guerrillas behind enemy lines, he discovers they need help destroying a heavily guarded enemy headquarters, and he's got just the skill set to help: his old county fair stunt driving experience. Flash must team up with the guerrillas to pull off an audacious jeep-and-ramp assault, but first he'll have to learn that the same showmanship that made him a star won't work without cooperation and perfect timing.

Mike Graham was a draftee who resented the Army with a burning hatred—until he got the promotion he thought he wanted, and used his new authority as a staff sergeant to brutalize the very trainees under his command. When his captain arranges his deployment overseas as a replacement, Mike's worst fears come true, and he finds himself paralyzed by fear in real combat, unable to pull the trigger when it counts. It takes a act of sacrifice from one of his own men—the very soldier he'd punished back at the training center—to show Mike what soldiering really means, and to spark something fierce in him that changes everything.

A soldier left behind in the embattled town of Hsiko discovers that his unit's former position has become a graveyard—but one surviving comrade, the bitter and selfish Al Magger, reveals how he single-handedly devastated the enemy forces before being cut off himself. As Ben Hageman recovers from wounds inflicted while saving Magger's life, the story unfolds how a man who once cared for nobody found purpose in fighting for others, transforming himself through sacrifice in the face of overwhelming odds.

A Korean War patrol goes catastrophically wrong when two soldiers—a hard-bitten sergeant and a green replacement named Specs—witness an observation plane shot down by enemy fire. Forced to commandeer the damaged aircraft, the unlikely pair discover they're the only ones positioned to stop an advancing enemy tank column, turning Specs's long-suppressed piloting skills and the sergeant's marksmanship into their only weapon. It's a story of necessity overcoming mistrust, where a flyboy stuck in the infantry finally gets his chance to do what he was born to do—while his skeptical commander learns to trust the kid he's been riding all along.
