Ride It Down
7 pp · war

Cpl. Donald R. Hickey, a B-25 tail-gunner with a reputation for cowardice after washing out of pilot training, finds himself facing doubt from his own crew when his bomber is attacked over North Africa. When a German fighter's burst damages his turret and knocks him unconscious, his crewmates assume the worst—until a British soldier who witnessed the attack from the ground sets the record straight. Now given a second chance to prove himself, Hickey must show his crew what he's really made of as dangerous missions over enemy territory test his nerve and skill.

They Ride With Terror
5 pp · war

When a skeptical congressman publicly attacks the Air Force's readiness and capabilities, Lt. Col. Mike Trudik takes him on an eye-opening supersonic tour of America's military defenses—a flight that will challenge everything the legislator thought he knew. Flying the cutting-edge B-58 bomber and intercepting surprise encounters with Navy jets and ground-based missile systems, the congressman gets a firsthand demonstration of the nation's true defensive power. By journey's end, this critic-turned-believer learns that real military strength lies not in chasing the newest designs, but in having proven weapons ready to fight right now.

The Fledgling and Baron von Richthofen
5 pp · war

First Lieutenant Arthur Welles gets far more than he bargained for when his first combat flight over enemy lines in 1918 puts him face-to-face with the legendary German ace Baron von Richthofen—and survives only by a stroke of luck. When the Red Baron issues a formal duel challenge, Welles and his commander devise a daring plan to even the odds, swapping his damaged fighter for a Bristol two-seater with a trick up its sleeve. It's a battle of cunning and nerve between an inexperienced American pilot and one of history's greatest aviators.

The Race
5 pp · non-fiction; war

In 1959, U.S. Air Force Comics presents a fascinating chronicle of aviation's greatest milestone: the moment mankind broke through the sound barrier and beyond. From the early skeptics who doubted a plane could survive supersonic speeds to the engineers and test pilots who proved them wrong—Captain Charles Yeager's historic 1947 flight in the Bell X-1, followed by John Derry's British triumph and the relentless push toward faster and faster aircraft—this is the true story of how humanity conquered the final frontier of the skies. A stirring tribute to the courage and ingenuity that transformed aviation from dream to daily reality.
