"Suicide Smith" depicts a pilot's dangerous mountain landing and subsequent discovery of foreign agents operating within the country, leading to a confrontation over a government radio plane.

V: Col. Kamikaze

Captain Wings pursues the ruthless Col. Kamikaze after thwarting his scheme to sow discord among the Allied nations, chasing him back to a remote monastery where the fugitive has stashed his war loot. When cornered, Kamikaze pulls a desperate gambit—holding explosives hostage to force Wings into a deadly bargain involving jewels and a mysterious pet bird—but the resourceful pilot refuses to be outmaneuvered. What unfolds is a high-stakes aerial cat-and-mouse game where cunning and quick thinking become the only weapons that matter.

In "null," a wartime pilot flying a passenger plane makes a chilling discovery: among his passengers are two men responsible for the deaths of his comrades during the war. As the aircraft cuts through the sky, he sets a trap, forcing the traitors to face their past in a desperate bid for redemption—or retribution.
