Contains 6 stories
Mig Alley Matinee
7 pp · war

Jet pilot Major Riley has his hands full when movie star Len Stanley—fresh from the silver screen where he plays a heroic flier—reports to the squadron for actual combat duty in Korea. As Stanley struggles to adapt to the brutal realities of MiG Alley and real aerial warfare, Riley must decide whether the actor has what it takes to be a true pilot, or if he's just another headline chaser playing a part he hasn't earned.

The Pressure Is On!
1 pp · non-fiction; aviation; war
Sabre 13
5 pp · war

When Major Walter Becker takes command of the Horseshoe Squadron—a jet outfit that's grown dependent on lucky charms to get them through combat over Korea—he immediately clashes with their superstitious ways, insisting that skill and focus matter more than fortune. As he pushes the pilots to rely on their training rather than their lucky pieces, the squadron faces a dangerous test in the skies above Mig Alley, where every decision could mean the difference between coming home and not making it back at all.

Awkward Squadron
6 pp · war

When a hot-headed fighter pilot shoots down a MiG but costs the wing half their bombing run, he's reassigned to lead the "Awkward Squadron"—a ragtag collection of misfits and screw-ups tasked with worthless message runs. Stationed in a dead sector where nothing ever happens, the squad gets their real shot when a massive Red offensive forces every pilot into the air, and one man's earlier "crazy" hunch about a hidden enemy airstrip might be the key to turning the tide.

Circus Pilot
7 pp · war

Harry Burns has spent his life mastering spectacular aerial acrobatics at county fairs, but when the Navy drafts him for carrier duty during the Korean War, his showmanship proves worthless in disciplined combat flying—and his reluctance to qualify for carrier landings marks him as a liability to his commanding officer, Commander Karnes. When Burns finally ships out aboard the USS Georgetown, his reckless habit of breaking formation to hunt lone enemy fighters earns him a reputation as a "circus pilot" more concerned with personal glory than teamwork, until a desperate situation forces him to choose between his own survival and saving Karnes' life.

Who Was First?
1 pp · non-fiction; math & science
Isaac Newton

This 1953 feature traces the surprising history of jet propulsion, revealing how Isaac Newton's theoretical understanding of action and reaction laid the groundwork for modern flight—and how visionary thinkers from Leonardo da Vinci to Jules Verne built on those principles centuries before jet engines took to the skies. A fascinating look at how scientific discovery builds across generations, proving that today's innovations often stand on the shoulders of yesterday's brilliant minds.
