The main story follows Captain Wings as he roars through Karigane Hell for a single fighting chance to blast "Tojo's Eagle Trap," involving aerial combat with Japanese forces and naval operations. Additional stories include The Skull Squad, Greasemonkey Griffin, "Suicide" Smith, Jane Martin, and "Phantom Flight" by Captain Derek West, the latter featuring intrigue with enemy agents, poisoning plots, and espionage.

Capt. Hewitt Wheless commands a Flying Fortress on a dangerous bombing run against Japanese transports in the Philippine theater, but mechanical trouble and enemy fighters force his crippled crew into a desperate fight for survival. Flying through overwhelming odds and accumulating damage—dead engines, punctured fuel tanks, and a radio man lost—Wheless pilots his damaged bomber through a 75-mile running battle with Japanese Zeros, determined to bring his wounded crew home. Based on the true account of a remarkable American pilot, this is a stark portrait of courage under fire in World War 2's Pacific campaign.
