Contains 5 stories
A Pro Is Born
4 pp · war

A young fighter pilot named Bobby Green receives his commission and takes to the skies in a P-51, but his first combat missions expose him as dangerously inexperienced—until his father and fellow pilot Barney Kinhardt step in to teach him the harsh realities of air combat. Over grueling weeks of missions and close calls, Green transforms from a nervous amateur into a seasoned flyer, learning to read his enemies and trust his instincts in the skies over Nazi-occupied France.

The Human Factor
6 pp · war

Major Roy Metzger commands a Strategic Air Command bomb group standing ready for the unthinkable—when unidentified aircraft trigger a cascade of escalating alerts that puts his B-58s on course toward nuclear war. As the authorization to proceed climbs through each level of readiness, Metzger faces the harrowing reality that he may be the man chosen to unleash devastation, and must reckon with his conscience in the face of an intricate system designed to allow no second thoughts. "The Human Factor" examines the weight carried by those whose duty demands absolute obedience, even when the stakes are the survival of civilization itself.

The Last Barrier
4 pp · war

In the tense days of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a lone U.S. jet pilot makes a desperate gamble to halt a Russian freighter carrying missile technicians—using nothing but sheer nerve and a bluff that could end in disaster. Written with taut, cinematic precision, "The Last Barrier" is a gripping what-if moment where one man’s courage might just avert war.

The Killer Group
4 pp · war

When a ruthless Chinese fighter squadron—marked by a bloody fist on their fuselages—turns their MiG 17s on refugees and hospitals across Korea, Captain Vince Beeman decides to even the score. Operating under strict orders never to cross the Yalu River, Beeman devises his own unconventional tactics to harass and outmaneuver the enemy pilots at every turn. This 1963 war story follows his personal campaign against the "Peiping Executioner" and his gang of airborne bandits.

50th Mission
7 pp · war
Major Art Moore

Jo Moore, nearing his fiftieth combat mission, feels the weight of duty pressing hard—his crew, still green, struggles to keep up, and the strain shows. Though offered leave, he refuses, choosing instead to push on, volunteering for ten more missions to help a new crew find their footing.
