"Skyway to Death" by Captain Derek West follows a pilot's air combat yarn, while "'Suicide' Smith Wages a One-Man War in 'Gangway, Panzers!'" depicts a soldier's solo battle against enemy tanks. The Skull Squad story "Greasemonkey Griffin" shows commandos in ground combat against Nazi forces. Additional features include technical specifications of American aircraft like the Vultee Dive Bomber and the Brewster "Bermuda" bomber, along with a naval action sequence involving the USS North Carolina engaging Nazi U-boats, culminating in the sinking of an enemy submarine.
During Louisiana maneuvers, a traitor known as the "Camera Killer" begins shooting down friendly planes under the cover of combat exercises, and Captain Wings must unmask the saboteur before more pilots fall. When a rigged camera-gun reveals the killer's identity, a desperate chase through the skies ensues with only a Martin bomber standing between justice and escape. Captain Wings faces his most personal mission yet—one that will test both his piloting skills and his resolve.
When a World War 1 veteran pilot named Mike Neale spots a mysterious new arrival at his R.A.F. base, he's convinced the man is a deserter and liar—but an air raid and a desperate rescue over occupied France force them into a tense confrontation that reveals a darker truth than either expected. As Neale struggles to separate fact from the lies he's believed, both men must rely on each other to survive a harrowing flight back to base. "Skyway to Death," by Captain Derek West, is a gripping tale of mistaken identity, buried secrets, and the price of redemption in wartime.
