Contains 6 stories
Bombing Mission
5 pp · war

A bombardier-navigator faces the ultimate test when a bombing run over a Japanese stronghold on Kiska Island turns into a desperate race against the Aleutian fog. With instruments and radio finders proving unreliable in the murk, Corbett must trust his instincts to guide the plane and its crew back to base—or watch them disappear into the weather. This 1965 U.S. Air Force Comics tale captures the razor-thin margin between skill and luck that defined aerial warfare in the North Pacific.

Ground Support Mission
1 pp · non-fiction; war

While jet fighter aces grabbed the headlines during the Korean War, the real backbone of air support came from slower, older aircraft—F4U Corsairs, F-51 Mustangs, and medium bombers flying low and dangerous to protect ground troops and strike Communist targets below. This story celebrates the unglamorous pilots who flew day after day, dropping napalm on strongpoints and destroying supply lines, proving that winning a war takes more than dogfighting glory.

Low Destroyer
5 pp · war

Captain Art Rudolph has earned a reputation as a fearless strafing pilot willing to fly dangerously low to hit ground targets, but after witnessing heavy losses to anti-aircraft fire during a bomber escort run over Berlin, he proposes a bold counter-strike: low-level attack runs on the AA gun positions themselves to protect the Flying Fortresses above. With his flight of P-51 Mustangs, Rudolph puts his dangerous new tactic to the test, racing across Berlin at treetop level to silence the flak before it can take more American lives.

The Griper
3 pp · war

S/Sgt. Dinky Malone spends his days fixing up Captain Otto Haabst's battered B-25 Mitchell and complaining endlessly about the pilot's rough landings—until Haabst calls his bluff and drags the griping ground crew sergeant along on a dangerous combat mission over the South Pacific. When they spot a Japanese light cruiser and the captain orders a perilously close bombing run, Malone discovers that his CO's unconventional tactics might just be the real deal.

Parmalee's Pack
10 pp · war

When Captain "Tiger" Tom Parmalee handpicks four young fighter pilots—Stan Mizzek, Eddie Devore, Sam Reynolds, and Mike Gajanian—and drills them relentlessly in jet combat techniques, they transform from raw recruits into the sharpest pilots in the Air Force. But when Parmalee is lost on a combat mission over Korea, his four former students discover that their mentor's influence extends far beyond memory, mysteriously intervening in moments when death closes in. As danger stalks the pack at every turn, they begin to wonder if the Tiger they trained under truly never left the sky.

How High How Fast
1 pp · non-fiction; war
