Bombs Over Germany
6 pp · non-fiction; aviation; war

Pilot Officer Raoul de F. Jenner, a Canadian aerial gunner and wireless operator in the R.C.A.F., flies with his bomber crew on a dangerous run over Dusseldorf, Germany, only to have their damaged plane crippled by enemy fire on the return journey. With multiple engines failing and fuel leaking, the crew must struggle to keep the wounded aircraft aloft long enough to reach the British coast, where an emergency landing becomes their only hope for survival.

Mystery Cargo
3 pp · non-fiction; aviation

American airmen stationed in England devise an ingenious solution to a sweet problem—using a Flying Fortress bomber as an airborne freezer to deliver ice cream to the crew upon their return from a dangerous mission over enemy territory. As the aircraft endures rough weather and high-altitude conditions, the frozen cargo stays perfectly preserved, turning an ordinary bombing run into something far more memorable for the hungry pilots and crew.

Mission Rescue
4 pp · non-fiction; aviation; war

Lieutenant Mortimer Marks of the U.S. Army Air Force finds himself stranded in French Indo-China after a radio failure forces him to crash-land his P-40 near a village, where two Maryknoll Fathers—one fluent in Chinese, the other skilled in aircraft mechanics—rush to his aid. With Japanese scout planes a constant threat at dawn, the priests and local villagers work urgently to dismantle his fighter for transport downriver to safety. Marks and Father Sprinkle embark on a three-day river journey to rejoin the fight against the Japanese, thanks to the courage and ingenuity of the mission that saved both pilot and plane.

Glory Dive
3 pp · non-fiction; aviation; biography; war

Lieutenant John James Powers, a Navy dive-bomber pilot, wages a relentless three-day aerial campaign against Japanese naval forces in the Coral Sea, systematically crippling enemy vessels through precision bombing runs under intense anti-aircraft fire. On his final mission, Powers leads his squadron toward an aircraft carrier with unwavering resolve, determined to deliver a direct hit no matter the cost. This is the true story of uncommon courage, as recounted by President Roosevelt himself.

Jungle Miracle
4 pp · non-fiction; aviation; war

During the Pacific War, the Allies undertake an engineering feat in the Southern Pacific Islands, carving hidden airfields out of dense jungle to support bombing operations against enemy convoys. From clearing dense growth and felling trees—even the "devil trees" that superstitious natives fear—to laying steel mats and concrete runways, engineers race to build and camouflage secret bases before Japanese forces can spot them. These improvised airports become the launchpads for swift surprise attacks on enemy ships, with Allied planes returning safely to their concealed hangars before retaliation can strike.

Tommy Harmon 'Galloping 98'
6 pp · non-fiction; aviation; biography; sports; war

Lieutenant Tommy Harmon parlayed his legendary elusiveness on the football field into a Heisman Trophy and a career in radio—but when he enlisted in the Army Air Force, his greatest test awaited. In April 1943, his bomber disappeared over the South American jungle, forcing the former All-American to rely on the toughness and determination that made him a football star to survive in one of the world's most unforgiving landscapes. This is the true story of how "Galloping 98" faced his most dangerous opponent yet.
