Contains 5 stories
Army Air Ace Jet Powers
8 pp · adventure; war
Captain Johnny "Jet" Powers

Captain Johnny "Jet" Powers of the U.S. Army Air Force faces his greatest battle not in the skies over Korea, but within himself—grappling with a paralyzing fear that threatens to undermine his duty to the men depending on him. As the conflict escalates from desperate delaying actions to full offensive operations, Jet must confront whether he has the courage to survive the dogfights he's been dreading, knowing that hesitation in the air means lives lost on the ground. His struggle becomes the measure of whether fear can be mastered, or whether it will consume him.

The Flying Boxcar
2 pp · non-fiction; war

When a Marine patrol gets cut off behind enemy lines near the Chungjin Reservoir, the Combat Cargo Command springs into action with their C-119 "Flying Boxcars"—heavy transport planes built by Fairchild that can fly supplies over enemy territory where nothing else can reach. Through skilled "kickers" who parachute bundles of food, medicine, ammunition, and equipment to isolated troops, these cargo aircraft become a lifeline for surrounded units holding the line against overwhelming odds. This 1951 account celebrates how the C-119s proved essential to the American Air Force's ability to sustain troops in impossible situations.

Navy Flyer Rocky Beach
8 pp · adventure; war
Rocky Beach

Navy pilot Rocky Beach accepts a hush-hush military assignment: fly into China, find a dead intelligence officer's hidden message, and recover crucial information about a peasant rebellion that could prevent World War III. Teaming up with Tanya Sodoroff, a young woman caught in the same deadly game, Rocky must decode a mysterious glowing message, outwit Communist forces, and extract the intelligence before the Reds silence them both.

The First Jet Ace: Captain James Jabara
4 pp · war
Captain James Jabara

Captain James Jabara of Wichita, Kansas brought his cool determination and sharp flying skills from World War II into the Korean conflict, where he joined the Fourth Fighter Interceptor Group flying the new Sabre jet. Tasked with taking down enemy MiGs in the dangerous skies above the Yalu Corridor, Jabara proves he has what it takes to hold his own against the fastest competition—even when the odds stack up against him.

Bait for the Buzzard!
8 pp · adventure; war
Mike Battles

Mike Battles, a Marine helicopter pilot, answers a desperate call to rescue wounded soldiers trapped near the Chunho Reservoir in Korea—only to discover that the enemy has set an elaborate trap, using the very men he's trying to save as bait. As Mike races against time and enemy fire to extract the wounded, his old rival Lt. Chickery must make a harrowing choice to give the mission any chance of success. This Korean War tale pits courage against cunning in a life-or-death gamble where every second counts.
