☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features multiple aviation-themed stories including "Suicide Squeeze," in which a Yank pilot in a flaming coffin risks his life to blast Japanese torpedo terror, and tales of the Greasemonkey Griffin, the Skull Squad, and Captain Wings. The issue also includes "Calhoun of the Air Cadets" and concludes with "Wing Tips," an educational section identifying American and British fighter aircraft such as the Curtiss P-40F, Grumman F4F-3, Lockheed P-38, and North American P-51. Additional story content visible on the sampled pages depicts aerial combat and espionage involving female characters in wartime scenarios.
A young woman stowaway joins the Skull Squad on a dangerous commando raid over occupied France, where the R.A.F. aces must fend off Nazi fighters while supporting ground forces in a daring jail break. When a mid-air collision threatens the entire mission, one pilot makes a desperate choice to keep her alive—and discovers she may not have gone down with the plane after all.
Lt. Edward H. O'Hare faces his first combat when nine Japanese bombers approach the U.S. carrier where he serves—and when his wingman's guns jam, "Butch" finds himself alone in the sky against overwhelming odds. With over a thousand lives depending on his aircraft's guns and his nerve, O'Hare climbs to intercept the enemy formation in a desperate bid to protect his ship. This true account of wartime courage shows what one pilot can accomplish when duty demands everything.
