In "Commandos Blitz a Red Invasion," Buck and Jim, the last survivors of a daring raid on a Red base in the Galapagos, make a high-stakes escape with a captured four-star general, bringing vital intelligence back to the Atlantic allies.

Biff BarnesSmoke WalshSergeant Kennedy

Biff Barnes and Smoke Walsh are on the hunt for fresh food to break the monotony of military rations when they stumble into a farmhouse—and straight into enemy gunfire. Their search leads them underground, where they discover a hidden tunnel system operated by Communist soldiers planning to blow up the town's food storage facility. Now trapped beneath the jail with a time-bomb situation brewing, the two soldiers must use their wits to escape, stop the demolition, and outsmart their captors.

Zero Hour Ahead
7 pp · war
IndianaBillLieutenant Homer

Company X is pinned down and facing certain death when a general advance is ordered at zero hour—but a special squad led by Lieutenant Homer devises a dangerous mission to neutralize the enemy machine-gun nests blocking the advance. With Indiana and Bill volunteering for a water-based approach, the Marines must navigate behind enemy lines, improvise when their equipment fails, and coordinate a perfectly-timed assault on the hills before the clock runs out. It's a race against time as these leathernecks use guts, quick thinking, and whatever weapons they can scrounge to save their company from the incoming barrage.

Perfect Fit
5 pp · humor; war
Private ThistlewaitPrivate Grzymskilsupply sergeant

Private Thistlewait is desperate for a fresh uniform after months in filthy combat gear, and when he learns the supply sergeant is handing out new issue—but only in exchange for clothes so worn they're falling apart—he'll go to absurd lengths to make the cut. This 1952 war comedy follows a soldier's increasingly creative (and ridiculous) schemes to earn himself a "perfect fit," with results that might just turn the tables on everyone involved.

Dangerous Flight
5 pp · war
Jerry CalhounBillFrank

Lieutenant Jerry Calhoun returns to flying duty despite doctor's orders for rest, only to black out at high altitude during a combat mission over Korea—forcing his wingmen Bill and Frank into a desperate race to keep him airborne while fending off enemy fighters. As the three pilots struggle to get Jerry down to safer altitude, they must evade a determined Red pilot who sees an easy target in their vulnerable formation. With Jerry's fate hanging in the balance and enemy forces closing in, his fellow pilots face an impossible choice between saving their friend and completing their mission.
