Guided Missile Attack

9 pp · War

Commander Elston and the crew of the U.S.S. Catfish find themselves stranded on the Albanian coast after their submarine is destroyed by a Red guided missile—and now they're hunted by patrols determined to erase all trace of them. With the enemy closing in and no way off the island, Elston devises a desperate plan: split the crew to draw off the Reds, then infiltrate the very missile base that attacked them to commandeer a gunboat for escape. It's a race against time in hostile territory where outsmarting the enemy is the only way out.

Last Ditch Stand

6 pp · War

Three American soldiers in South Korea—Dan Gordon, Bill Recka, and Jerry Sears—are inseparable friends until a border patrol goes badly wrong and Dan is wounded during a Red attack. When communication lines go down and Dan desperately needs medical help, Bill and Jerry seemingly abandon him to save their own skins, forcing Dan to confront what friendship truly means when survival is on the line. In "Last Ditch Stand," this 1956 war story reveals that sometimes the greatest act of loyalty wears the mask of betrayal.

Attack on Doom Mountain

7 pp · War

When two volunteers step up to hold a narrow mountain path while their battalion launches a coordinated assault on an enemy-fortified peak in Korea, they'll need every ounce of nerve, quick thinking, and marksmanship to survive what lies ahead. Frankie and Skeets face a treacherous climb up a death trap of a slope, a heavily armed encampment with hundreds of enemy troops, and a plan so desperate it might just work—if they live long enough to execute it. This tale from *Yanks in Battle* #3 proves that sometimes victory depends on two men willing to bet everything on a single explosive moment.
