"Suicide Smith" follows a pilot who crashes near an enemy airfield and must navigate back to safety while evading enemy forces and dealing with internal conflict. "Yank Aces of World War 2" by Major Albert F. Kalberer depicts nine Liberator bombers taking off from an Egyptian base on a dangerous bombing run, with Major Al Kalberer leading the Allied air task force against Italian naval squadrons and facing attacks from enemy aircraft. Additional stories include "Clipper Kirk," "Tail-Gun Tornado," "Greasemonkey Griffin," "Skull Squad," "Capt. Wings," and "Dawn Raid," all celebrating American aviation combat during World War II.
Lieut. Ken Moore and fellow pilots of the Eagle Squadron draw for the next combat assignment, but a mysterious fortune teller's warnings about death and sacrifice complicate matters when an experimental suicide torpedo mission against the Nazis becomes a test of courage and sacrifice. When a young pilot's fate hangs in the balance, Lieut. Ken Moore makes a fateful decision to take his place on the deadly run in this 1942 war story by Capt. Derek West.
Major Albert F. Kalberer leads a daring Allied bombing run against Italian warships steaming east of Malta, with bombardiers and crews piloting massive Liberators to strike a heavily defended enemy convoy. Under Kalberer's command, the bombers rake the battleships with devastating accuracy—racking up thirty-five direct hits before British torpedo planes arrive to finish the job. It's a textbook aerial victory that showcases the skill and coordination of American aircrews in the thick of World War II combat.
