The issue includes a "Skull Squad" story in which pilot Kent Douglas's damaged plane loses engines and must make an emergency landing, and the Skull Squad rescues a downed female pilot whose craft has caught fire during landing. Another featured story involves aerial combat over occupied territory, with German flight drones attacking Allied bombers. The issue also contains a letters page and reader mail discussing various characters and stories from the magazine.
Sergeant Maynard Harrison Smith was a ball-turret gunner aboard a Flying Fortress when an enemy shell tore through his bomber during a raid, crippling the aircraft and forcing most of the crew to bail out—but Smith refused to abandon ship. Fighting raging fires, tending a badly burned crewmate, and manning the guns against attacking enemy fighters, this airman's incredible determination and courage in the face of overwhelming odds made him a hero of the European theater.
