Killer High
8 pp · aviation; war

When Lt. Tate Coogan arrives at an English fighter base as a green pilot, his first combat mission goes badly—his Mustang is shot down over the Channel by a skilled Luftwaffe ace. After recovering from his wounds, Coogan becomes obsessed with fighting only when he holds every advantage, abandoning his fellow pilots to pursue personal victories rather than help them in the thick of battle. As his kill count climbs and his reputation grows, both his own squadron and the Luftwaffe take notice of the pilot flying solo—with deadly consequences.

Obsolete!
5 pp · aviation; war

When a new Air Force Secretary stakes his reputation on missiles and automation, declaring manned bombers "obsolete," Major David J. Bentsweiler and his crew aboard the B-58 Hustler prove otherwise during a tense polar reconnaissance flight that triggers a dangerous confrontation with enemy interceptors. As the Soviets scramble to respond to the bomber's penetration of their airspace, the Secretary's confidence in push-button warfare faces a hard reality check—and the White House reaches an unexpected conclusion about America's true defense needs. This Cold War drama explores the clash between old-school pilot skill and the allure of modern technology, proving that sometimes the human element can't be replaced by a button.

High Point
5 pp · aviation; war

Major Bennie Kinard's battered P-47 Thunderbolt is surrounded by enemy fighters as he racks up his twenty-eighth confirmed kill—but his luck runs out when enemy fire tears through his aircraft, forcing him into a desperate spiral toward the ground. Severely wounded and running on instinct, Kinard manages an impossible crash landing and signals for rescue with a flare pistol, only to find himself at the center of an all-out battle as the German Army mobilizes every resource to prevent his escape. With Allied fighters pouring in for a desperate cover mission, Kinard's survival hangs by a thread in this harrowing tale of grit and aerial combat.

The Red Ace
7 pp · aviation; war

Major Ike Degraw arrives at a Greek airfield with a dangerous assignment: take down Soviet Captain Igor Koski, the legendary Red Ace who's been ambushing American jets near the Rumanian border. When Koski shoots down Degraw's first mission, humiliation spreads across Eastern Europe—but Degraw discovers a saboteur at the base and sets a trap to even the odds in their next encounter. It's a high-stakes duel between two skilled pilots where cunning and courage will determine who walks away.
