Contains 5 stories
Air Attack!
1 pp · humor; war

Pvt. Dopey gets the boot when a soldier plans a romantic picnic with a woman named Helen, only to have an unexpected aerial visitor crash the carefully laid plans. What starts as a scheme to finally be alone takes a slapstick turn when nature—and a buzzing intruder—has the last laugh. This 1956 one-pager proves that even the best-laid military schemes fall apart in the name of wartime humor.

When My Joe Came Home
6 pp · war

A young woman named Susie has waited months for the moment her sweetheart Joe returns from the war, filling the time with his letters and photographs. When his homecoming finally arrives, she throws herself into preparations—new clothes, new curtains, grand plans—only to find herself overwhelmed with doubt about whether either of them has truly remained the same. As Joe steps off the train and they're reunited at last, Susie discovers that the joy she's imagined and the reality of seeing him face-to-face are two very different things.

Seasick Blues
2 pp · humor; war

Pvt. Dopey's romantic prospects take a hit when a smooth-talking rival named McTuff decides to muscle in on his girl, resorting to bribery and flattery to win her favor. What unfolds is a short, punchy battle of wits and fists as Dopey must decide whether to let his new "pal" steal the show—or stand his ground. This 1956 humor piece by Vic Martin proves that sometimes the best defense against a con artist is a well-timed right cross.

Reilly's Supersonic Swindle
7 pp · humor; war

Ready-Money Reilly spots a backwoods inventor named Merlin Mullins and sees dollar signs—he convinces the eccentric tinkerer that together they can design a satellite and make a fortune. As the two scheme and measure and build, Reilly has his eye on a very small, unsuspecting volunteer to pilot their homemade craft into space. The question is whether their hastily assembled contraption—and its reluctant passenger—will survive the journey.

Stop that Tank!
7 pp · war

During a military maneuver at Camp Humboldt, Sergeant Mulvaney discovers that one of the "Blue" Army's tanks has gone rogue—firing live ammunition instead of blanks and barreling toward a heavily mined bridge. Racing against time in a jeep with a fellow soldier, Mulvaney must find a way to stop the out-of-control tank before it reaches Bridge Seven and triggers a catastrophe. It's a race to avert disaster when live fire and good intentions collide on the training grounds.
